The line of demarcation

GCB.1897-01-01.001

The line of demarcation between the professed commandment-keeping people of God and the world, is not as distinct as it once was. Those who are walking in harmony with God will not be found taking part in political gatherings. Those who do this give evidence that they are not faithful servants of Jesus. They have handled common fire so long that their discernment is lost. There is a people who have enlisted to stand under the banner of Jesus. They are Christ’s army. They have pledged themselves to come out from the world, and be separate. They have pledged themselves to use the sword of the Spirit, the word of God, to make aggressive warfare against sin and all iniquity. We are to show our loyalty.

We are to show our loyalty to our King , the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle James declares: «Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.» And the beloved John, the disciple in spirit most like Jesus, has given the warning, «Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.» No man will find happiness in following the example of Adam, and wandering away from his Maker.
