Bible Answer: Dear IN2JESUS, Read Ephesians chapter 2 with attention to vs 1-10.While we may live in this world we are no longer of it.When we became disciples of Jesus Christ we changed citizenship.When refering to the world we oft times refering to the nonbelieving. When Gods people take a stand we will encounter opposition. Jesus told his diciples to expect this.Paul even tells us in 2 Timothy 3:12 that as we seek to live godly lives in Christ Jesus that we will be persecuted. Paul even tells us that to those who are perishing that this all foolishness.So dont be to shocked when people start throwing the junk your way,just remember Colossians 1:27 that it's Christ in you the hope of glory! In Christ, lionheart |
