(You’ve Been Separated From This World)

TO THE BIBLE
John 15:19
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”
LET’S TALK
Owen: “Everyone in my class already has the exam questions. If I don’t cheat like them, I’ll be behind in my test scores!”
Wyatt: “No, you’re not of this world. You don’t have to play by their rules.”
If you’re born again, then Jesus has called you and chosen you out of the world. He has called you to live on God’s terms, that’s how the Message Translation renders the Scripture above: “If you lived on the world’s terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God’s terms and no longer on the world’s terms, the world is going to hate you.” As Christians, we play by a different set of rules; we function by divine principles. That’s what it means to live on God’s terms.
The teenager who’s born again has been separated from the world. You should never think, talk or live like everyone around you who doesn’t know Christ. Refuse to follow trends that go against God’s Word, even if they’re popular on social media or in school; rather, live by God’s principles; be a doer of the Word. The Bible says you’re “…a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9).
You’re a special breed, born with the life and nature of God, and called to display the perfections and excellence of divinity. You’ve been born into a kingly lineage. Yes, physically, you may look like your neighbour who’s not born again, but in reality, you’re royalty because you’re born of God.
Understand today that Jesus has separated you from the general class; He’s chosen you to reign as a king in life. Remember that though you’re in the world, you’re not of the world; Jesus has chosen you out of the world to live on God’s terms.
*GO DEEPER
John 17:14-16
“[14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from evil. [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
Hebrews 12:22-23
“[22] But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, [23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.”
PRAY
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for choosing and separating me from the world and its systems. I recognise that though I’m in the world, I’m not of this world; I’m a citizen of Zion, called to be a saint. I refuse to operate by the principles and standards of this world, and I thank you for choosing me out of the world to reign as a king in life. Amen.
