BEING THE DIFFERENCE

BEING THE DIFFERENCE

Luke 8:43 And a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years and had spent in doctors all that she had and could not be healed by anyone, 44 came up to Jesus from behind and touched the Edge of his robe, and instantly the flow of his blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? While they all denied it, Peter said, and those who were with him [t]: Master, the crowds tighten and oppress you. 46 But Jesus said, Someone touched me, because I realized that power had come out of me. 47 When the woman saw that she had not gone unnoticed, she came trembling, and falling down before him, declared in the presence of all the people the reason for which she had touched him, and how he had been immediately healed. 48 And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you." Go in peace

We are surrounded by a world that every day wants to consume you more and more, making you participate in its currents and making you believe to some extent that what you do is normal because everyone does. In the Word of the Lord we see how Jesus mentions that we must be the Salt of the Earth, the Light of the world, in short: BEING THE DIFFERENCE.

We see the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and we can analyze how his life is completely different from what the world was accustomed to. He came to give us a model of life, that model that we as Christians (followers or imitators of Jesus) must put into practice.

And is that the enemy is very clever, not for nothing the Bible refers to him as the ancient serpent, he will try to confuse you by making you believe that doing everything the world does nothing happens, that's where the Church today is falling In the error of seeing things in the world as something normal that leads her to participate in things that being sincere and analytical we could realize that she would not have to participate.

God has called us to be different, to show the world that we can live a holy life that is not mixed with the profane, to prove that we are no longer the same as before and that we have proposed in our hearts not to contaminate ourselves with the lies of the enemy. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a sincere heart, in full assurance of faith, the hearts of evil conscience purified, and the bodies washed with pure water.

A well-known preacher in one of his books says a phrase I like very much, I will paraphrase it: "We see the truths of God as if they were lies and the lies of the enemy as if they were true." And is that today it is easy to believe that a certain sin is not because everyone does, believe that walking in places that are not those of a child of God is not bad, because everyone goes there, believe that my vocabulary is normal Because it looks like everyone's, even when people do not differentiate your vocabulary from a person without Christ in their heart and a converted person.

For God's sake, we are doing it! Although it is true that we must go to the world to win others to God, it does not mean that the world wins over us and makes us one of them.

James 4: 8 - Draw near to God, and he will draw nigh unto you. Sinners, clean your hands; And you double-minded, purify your hearts.

It is time for us to wake up and realize that we have been called to BE DIFFERENT, we have been called to testify to the world that Christ can transform the lives of those who seek Him from the heart, we need to stand up and show with our attitudes, our Way of speaking and directing ourselves in the life that we are Christians born again.

Have you proposed in your heart to make the difference in an indifferent world? Let us ask the Lord to place in our hearts a desire and a determination to live each day of our existence remembering that we have been called to make the difference.

Come on! Let's show the world that Christ has changed our lives!
