Do You Live Like Jesus or the World?
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.
