Distinct from

Read today’s passage below to see that while Jesus calls His followers to reach a world and bring restoration with Him, He also calls them to be distinctly different from the people they're called to connect with. If you are not different in a beneficial way, then the connection will not have a meaningful impact or bring the transformation that needs to come. Take a look at what the Bible has to say about this.

1 John 2:15-17 NLT: 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.


Ask yourself:

  • What does this passage say about the importance of being distinct from the world?

  • How does it change your view of your relationship with the world?

  • Why do you think God calls us to be distinct from the world?

  • How will you take steps to be more

    distinct from the world this week?
