Jesus and Culture
Lesson 4 Devotional 3



As you have talked about what it means to love God and not the world, this quote does a really good job of capturing the idea. See what you think:

What does this mean to you? How does it relate to what you’ve been thinking about and studying the last few weeks?

It’s really quite simple: if we love and identify with Christ, we can’t identify with the world. Identifying with the world is about giving in to our sin natures. And sin is ultimately about self.

If you can begin to learn to seek Jesus before seeking to fit in with the world around you, even though it may cost you comfort and popularity, you will have discovered what it means to truly live as a Christ-follower in this world. It’s not easy. But this is what it means to live as an authentic Christian.
