If you are a son of God, then the world doesn’t know you, because the world doesn’t know Him. That’s what the Bible says in 1 Jan 3:1. The world will not understand you anymore and thinks you are foolish and woolly. Poukisa? Because the world lies in darkness and those, who belong to the world are carnal and walk after the flesh according to the ruler of the world and is ruled by the senses, emosyon yo, antiman, panse elatriye. The flesh dominates the life. But if you are born again in Christ, you have been transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God and therefore you shall no longer live like the world (nan fènwa) ankò. You have become a son or daughter of God and are no longer a son or daughter of the devil. You are born of God. Bondye vin Papa w, therefore you shall listen to Him and do His will. This means that you shall walk after the Spirit, being led by the Word and the Spirit and walk in the will of God.
Separated from the world
Wè, ki kalite lanmou Papa a ban nou, pou yo ta dwe rele nou pitit Bondye: Se poutèt sa, mond lan pa konnen nou, because it knew him not (1 Jan 3:1)
Le pli vit ke ou vin fèt ankò, epi vin yon pitit gason Bondye, you will be separated from the world. Your spirit will become alive by the power of the Holy Spirit. You will receive God’s nature, pa Lespri Sen an rete. Lè ou renouvle lide ou ak Pawòl Bondye a, and apply the words of God into your life, you will live by what the Word says, instead of what the world, your senses and your feelings say.
Lespri Sen an, Who lives inside of you will guide you and teach you, so that you will be able to understand the Word of God. Plis ou renouvle lide ou ak Pawòl Bondye a, the more your mind will be transformed into the mind of Christ, and will line up with volonte Bondye. When you apply the Word of God in your everyday life, you shall stay in the Jesus Christ; the Word and walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh.
The world will turn against you
Lè ou vin yon pitit gason Bondye, and walk after the Spirit and do what the Word says, you shall notice, that the world shall change her attitude towards you and shall treat you differently. The persons, who were once your friends, konesans, family members or close colleagues, will change their behaviour and some will even turn against you.
The more you begin to look and act like the Word, the more hostile they will become. Maybe you don’t understand what’s happening, and are you looking for answers to explain their hostile behaviour towards you. But you shall not find the answer, you are looking for.
Petèt ou panse, that you did something wrong, and want to find out, what you have done wrong. But let me tell you this: you didn’t do anything wrong and they didn’t do anything wrong.
It’s about the fact, that the father of this world; dyab la, hates the Person, ki ap viv anndan ou: Jezi.
The devil hates Him and will always hate Him. Se poutèt sa, pitit dyab yo, will also hate the children of God. No one can change that. It’s a fact.
“Si mond lan rayi ou, know that it hated Me before it hated you”
Jezi di: Si mond lan rayi ou, nou konnen li rayi m anvan li rayi nou. Si ou te nan mond lan, mond lan ta renmen pwòp tèt li: men paske ou pa moun lemonn, Men, mwen chwazi nou pami lemonn, Se poutèt sa, mond lan rayi ou. Sonje pawòl mwen te di nou an, Sèvitè a pa pi gran pase mèt li. Si yo te pèsekite m ', yo pral pèsekite nou tou; si yo kenbe pawòl mwen yo, yo pral kenbe pa w la tou (Jn 15:18-20)
Lè ou vin fèt ankò, you shall no longer live the way you used to live; Apre kò a. But you shall live after the Spirit and the Word. Poutèt sa, the world shall no longer like you, and shall even hate you.
Mond lan pa ka rayi ou; men li rayi mwen, paske mwen temwaye sou li, ke travay li yo se move (Jn 7:7)
Lè disip yo te ansyen kreyasyon an, the world didn’t hate them. But the world hated Jesus, because He testified that her works were evil.
Sentespri a menm, Ki moun ki te viv nan Jezi, ap viv anndan ou, and will also testify that the works of the world are evil. Jesus never allowed sin, but revealed sin and called the people to repantans.
A sweet fragrance or a nasty fragrance?
You shall be a sweet fragrance to those, who are looking for the truth, and to those, whom God has chosen. But you shall be a nasty fragrance to those, who don’t want to listen to the words of God and want to keep living in rebellion against God and His Word.
Paske, nou se yon bon sant Kris la pou Bondye, nan moun ki sove yo, ak nan moun ki peri: Pou youn nan nou se yon odè lanmò pou lanmò; e pou lòt la odè lavi pou lavi (2 CO 2:15,16)
When the world loves you, you should examine yourself, if you really walk according to what the Word says? Are you really a sweet savor of Christ unto God? Or are you still a savor of death unto God? Are you really born again by the Holy Spirit, do you walk after the Spirit? Or are you still a sinner? Do you habitually live in unrighteousness and sin, and are death to Him?
Trying hard to be accepted by the world
Why are so many Christians trying so hard to be accepted by the world? Why do they want to be liked by the world, and adjust Gods Word to the world, so that they can join them and live exactly like the world? Why don’t Christians just remove the worldly things out of their lives, instead of Christianizing worldly things and make them all right and acceptable to them, so that they can keep doing them? Why do believers try to save the world by changing the church of Christ into a people’s church, where people are the center instead of Christ? Why don’t they come out for the Word and stand on the Word? Why don’t they take a stand for Jesus Christ? Poukisa? Poukisa?
Pa renmen mond lan, ni bagay ki sou latè. Si yon moun renmen mond lan, lanmou Papa a pa nan li (1 Jn 2:15)
If the world loves you, and you love the world and live like the world, then the love of the Father is not present in you. When the love of God is not present in you, then the Holy Spirit is not present in you, and therefore Jesus is not present in you. Se pa pawòl mwen yo ye, but they are His Words.
