If you are a son of God, then the world doesn’t know you, because the world doesn’t know Him. That’s what the Bible says in 1 John 3:1. The world will not understand you anymore and thinks you are foolish and woolly. Por qué? Because the world lies in darkness and those, who belong to the world are carnal and walk after the flesh according to the ruler of the world and is ruled by the senses, emociones, sentimientos, pensamientos, etc.. The flesh dominates the life. But if you are born again in Christ, you have been transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God and therefore you shall no longer live like the world (en la oscuridad) ya no. You have become a son or daughter of God and are no longer a son or daughter of the devil. You are born of God. God has become your Father, therefore you shall listen to Him and do His will. This means that you shall walk after the Spirit, being led by the Word and the Spirit and walk in the will of God.
Separated from the world
Mirad, ¿Qué amor nos ha dado el Padre?, que seamos llamados hijos de Dios: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not (1 John 3:1)
As soon as you become nacido de nuevo, and become a son of God, you will be separated from the world. Your spirit will become alive by the power of the Holy Spirit. You will receive God’s nature, por la morada del Espíritu Santo. Cuando usted renueva tu mente con la palabra de Dios, y aplica las palabras de Dios en tu vida, you will live by what the Word says, instead of what the world, your senses and your feelings say.
El Espíritu Santo, Who lives inside of you will guide you and teach you, so that you will be able to understand the Word of God. The more you renueva tu mente con la palabra de Dios, the more your mind will be transformed into the mind of Christ, and will line up with La voluntad de Dios. When you apply the Word of God in your everyday life, you shall stay in the Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh.
The world will turn against you
Cuando te conviertes en un hijo de Dios, and walk after the Spirit and do what the Word says, you shall notice, that the world shall change her attitude towards you and shall treat you differently. The persons, who were once your friends, conocidos, family members or close colleagues, will change their behaviour and some will even turn against you.
The more you begin to look and act like the Word, the more hostile they will become. Maybe you don’t understand what’s happening, and are you looking for answers to explain their hostile behaviour towards you. But you shall not find the answer, Estás buscando.
tal vez pienses, that you did something wrong, and want to find out, what you have done wrong. But let me tell you this: you didn’t do anything wrong and they didn’t do anything wrong.
It’s about the fact, that the father of this world; el diablo, hates the Person, que vive dentro de ti: Jesús.
The devil hates Him and will always hate Him. Por lo tanto, the children of the devil, will also hate the children of God. No one can change that. It’s a fact.
“Si el mundo te odia, know that it hated Me before it hated you”
Jesús dice: Si el mundo te odia, sabes que me odió antes de odiarte a ti. Si fueras del mundo, el mundo amaría a los suyos: sino porque no sois del mundo, pero yo te he escogido del mundo, por eso el mundo te odia. Acordaos de la palabra que os dije, El siervo no es mayor que su señor. Si me han perseguido, ellos también te perseguirán; si han guardado mi palabra, Ellos también se quedarán con el tuyo (jn 15:18-20)
Cuando nazcas de nuevo, you shall no longer live the way you used to live; después de la carne. But you shall live after the Spirit and the Word. Por eso, the world shall no longer like you, and shall even hate you.
El mundo no puede odiarte; pero a mí me aborrece, porque doy testimonio de ello, que sus obras son malas (jn 7:7)
Cuando los discípulos eran la antigua creación, the world didn’t hate them. But the world hated Jesus, because He testified that her works were evil.
The same Holy Spirit, Who lived in Jesus, vidas dentro de ti, and will also testify that the works of the world are evil. Jesus never allowed sin, but revealed sin and called the people to arrepentimiento.
A sweet fragrance or a nasty fragrance?
You shall be a sweet fragrance to those, who are looking for the truth, and to those, whom God has chosen. But you shall be a nasty fragrance to those, who don’t want to listen to the words of God and want to keep living in rebellion against God and His Word.
Porque somos para Dios olor grato de Cristo, en los que son salvos, y en los que perecen: Para el que somos olor de muerte para muerte; y al otro olor de vida para vida (2 Co 2:15,16)
When the world loves you, you should examine yourself, if you really walk according to what the Word says? Are you really a sweet savor of Christ unto God? Or are you still a savor of death unto God? Are you really born again by the Holy Spirit, do you walk after the Spirit? Or are you still a sinner? Do you habitually live in unrighteousness and sin, and are death to Him?
Trying hard to be accepted by the world
Why are so many Christians trying so hard to be accepted by the world? Why do they want to be liked by the world, and adjust Gods Word to the world, so that they can join them and live exactly like the world? Why don’t Christians just remove the worldly things out of their lives, instead of Christianizing worldly things and make them all right and acceptable to them, so that they can keep doing them? Why do believers try to save the world by changing the church of Christ into a people’s church, where people are the center instead of Christ? Why don’t they come out for the Word and stand on the Word? Why don’t they take a stand for Jesus Christ? Por qué? Por qué?
No ames al mundo, ni las cosas que están en el mundo. Si alguno ama al mundo, el amor del Padre no está en él (1 jn 2:15)
If the world loves you, and you love the world and live like the world, then the love of the Father is not present in you. When the love of God is not present in you, then the Holy Spirit is not present in you, and therefore Jesus is not present in you. These are not my words, but they are His Words.
