Christians Need To Be In The World But Not Of It (John 17:13-18)

“But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 
I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 
Sanctify them by Your truth. 
Your word is truth. 
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” 
(John 17:13-18.)

Jesus’ prayer for us to the Heavenly Father is to remain in the world but to save 
and protect us from the evil one. 
We are to be His witness to the world. 
Jesus told His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. 
They were not to set themselves up apart from the world 
and expect others to come to them to hear the truth 
and the good news. 

Our light is to shine before others to point them to God. 
Allowing our light to shine requires us to be around people. 
To be not of the world requires us to be free of worldly influence. 
We do not act as the unsaved world does. 
We are not slaves to our sinful natures but act in accordance with righteousness. 
We have to put to death things that are of our sinful natures 
and to flee from immorality and train ourselves for godliness. 

We have nothing to do with the dark world and its unfruitful works of darkness, 
but instead expose them.  
In essence, we act according to the new nature we have received 
rather than the sinful nature of the world. 
We must be ambassadors for Christ spreading His fragrance 
through the world. 
Amen.
