Christians live against the culture of the world

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: When carnal attitudes interfere with handling Kingdom affairs, there is always loss to the Kingdom of God. The things of the Kingdom of God are not handled in the same way as in the world. When we enter the Kingdom of God, we have to assume that many things within us will have to die. We have to continually ask the Lord for illumination and direction from the Holy Spirit so that those carnal habits can be subjected to the treatment of the Holy Spirit. We have to ask the Lord to renew us every day, change our attitudes, and make us more like Christ. Only then can we be true servants of the Lord who reflect the character of Jesus.

When carnal attitudes interfere with the handling of Kingdom affairs there is always loss to the Kingdom of God. Either conflict results or abuse results or the devil gains the upper hand and then seizes those opportunities to sow dissent and scandal in the world and to present a negative image of the children of God and the Kingdom of God.

And this is what we see in this case of Matthew 20:20. That is why it is so important to insist on this point that when we enter into Christian service and even into the ways of the Lord, the first thing we have to understand is that the things of the Kingdom of God are not handled in the same way that they are handled in the Lord. world. The Kingdom of God is a counterintuitive culture; it is a very different culture that is even in conflict with the culture of the world.

Accolades from God
A Christian must live a legitimate and obedient life to receive the crown of life. We must trust in Gods power instead of worldly chemistry to achieve results. We must work hard and live a disciplined life to see spiritual fruits. God often tests us to decontaminate our hearts and minds. We should strive to be disciples, not just believers, and allow God to change our lives through his love.
