Because you still live as people of this world live. When there is jealousy among you and you quarrel with one another, doesn’t this prove that you belong to this world, living by its standards? – 1 Corinthians 3:3(GNB)
LIVING BY THE WORLD’S STANDARDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you a true believer who lives for Christ?
Do you read God’s word for insight?
When jealousy and strife are alive
It is hard to allow the truth to thrive.
When you live as people of this world do
It is impossible to allow the Spirit to get through
Your spirit lives in a body amidst a fallen world
The only way to have victory is by seeking the word.
Do you meditate on the word of God daily? As a Christian, it is essential that we focus on God’s word in order to be protected from the evil that is in the world. How can we know if we are living by the world’s standards?
The bible says clearly that how we live our lives is a clear indication whether we belong to God or to this fallen world. When our lives are full of conflicts, jealousy, anger, bitterness, resentment, un-forgiveness, ambition, pride and many other sins, we know that we belong to this world. When you decided to accept Jesus in your life, the Holy Spirit lives in you and guides you to overcome this world.
PRAYER
Thank you Spirit for living in me.
REFLECTION
How can you protect yourself from the corruption of this world?
