Strike That, Reverse That

 In this world, not of this world, this is how Christ’s believers need to be. Not wearing an astronaut suit so you’re not breathing “bad” air, but living a life that exemplifies Christ to nonbelievers. Don’t live like the world by only looking out for yourself but live centered around Christ.  1 Peter 2:10 says, “Once you were not a people. But now you are the people of God.” Now that you are centered around Jesus don’t compromise with the world and live selfishly thinking that you are all that matters. Strike that, reverse it, make Christ the only One who matters. Choose not to let yourself be contaminated with this world, be in it but not of. “Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts…having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles…” 1 Peter 2:11-12 We’re to live in this world, but not be of this world.
