IN the World NOT OF the World

Many believers are under the false impression that if you follow Jesus, you have to withdraw from society and go and live somewhere in a cave or on an island or in a monastery and practice your religion or your faith in isolation. Jesus called us to be the Light of the world IN this world. He does not take us OUT of the world. We are IN the world but NOT OF the world and because Jesus lives INSIDE of us, we are different. We are LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and we DO what is PLEASING to HIM, why we live normal lives. We eat, and we drink, we get married, we study, we work but we DO everything to PLEASE JESUS. We do NOT PARTICIPATE in WORDLY PLEASURES. We are NOT LIKE the world, we do not go along with the SINS of the world, with UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and with WICKEDNESS but we let our LIGHT SHINE in darkness. We live in RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS among a WICKED GENERATION because we are here to BRING THEM TO JESUS. We are called to be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and our light must shine in darkness. That is what Jesus has called us for.
May Jesus bless you.
