Abandoning Our Resident Status – 07-11-21

1 Peter 1:1-2:3

The challenge is immense.  How do we live in an environment of our own creation, to be comfortable and satisfying, and then try to act as if we are a guest in our own home?  This is the challenge before followers of Christ.

Paul addresses this in 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 that we must have a newly defined relationship with the things of the world if we are to have an authentic relationship with God, “using the things of the world but not engrossed by them”.  Many things of the world easily usurp God’s primary place in our lives.  Jesus even said that those who place family above him are not worthy of him Matthew 10:37-38.

What of this world has reclaimed priorities of time and commitment?  What of this world have you not yet put in its proper place?
