Do You Live Like Jesus or the World?

Jun 2, 2024    Adam McCain

The culture of Jesus embodies the ideologies, values, nature, and way of life exemplified by Jesus Christ. It stands as a counterculture to the world's system, often resulting in conflict with worldly ideologies as highlighted in John 15:18-20. Christians are called to live distinct lives, opposing their old worldly ways as emphasized in Colossians 3:5-11. Attempting to blend Jesus Culture with worldly culture is seen as hypocrisy, warned against in Titus 1:16 and 2 Corinthians 6:14-16. Living out Jesus Culture often leads to persecution, as noted in John 15:18-20, reflecting the early church's experience. However, Christians are also called to love the world through good deeds, as instructed in 1 Peter 2:11-12. Jesus Culture remains unwavering in its adherence to God's ways, calling for repentance and obedience to Jesus's teachings, rejecting the false notion that loving like Jesus means embracing worldly culture.
