" And of some have compassion, making a difference.." Jude 22-23.
Have compassion and make a difference. As Christians we have
the potential to make a difference in the world. When we accept Jesus
as our Savior, we become a new creature. We put off the old and put on
the new; however, we can have trouble with a carnal nature.
Paul told the Ephesians in chapter four not to walk as other
Gentiles, in the vanity of their mind. God gives us those same
directions. Don't be like the world; don't act like the world; don't
fashion ourselves after the world. We insult God when we try to be like
the world around us. We are not to operate by the world's philosophy.
The culture of the kingdom of God is not of this world. God's culture
is our only standard, and it is the standard of holiness.
Continually pursue the difference salvation has brought to your
life. If we are to reach the unsaved, they must see the difference.
Otherwise our influence will be little. We are driven by a higher
motivation. We have an identity. We have purpose.
Enjoy being different. Don't hide from it. Show the world how much you
enjoy your walk with God. Show your satisfaction with being a
Christian. Only then will you MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
