Our Responsibility to the World Mark 16:15

The realm of Satan The world is his domain John 12:31 2 Corinthians 4:4 Ephesians 2:2 Revelation 12:9 1 John 5:19 Do NOT underestimate the devil! Do not be surprised to see them acting ungodly

I must walk wisely Colossians 4:5 We look for opportunities to impact someone We are alert to dangers around us, temptations and being trapped Matthew 10:16

I must walk wisely Do not be surprised at how you might be treated by the ungodly 1 John 3:13 John 15:18 John 17:14 BUT, this doesn’t mean you cannot be alert and cautious

I must be transformed Romans 12:1-2 Not conforming to the world Romans 8:29, Philippians 3:21 Be transformed – change into something different By renewing your mind – all things begin with our mindset

I must be transformed Romans 12:1-2 Keep yourself unspotted from the world – James 1:27 Colossians 2:20 Titus 2:12 James 4:4 1 Peter 4:4 CAN the world see that we are different?

I must be an example Never underestimate the power of example! Both good and bad! Example includes what we do as well as what others see

I must be an example Jesus taught about example – Matthew 5:13-16 Salt – 1) Preserves; 2) Flavors 3) Produces thirst, 4) Irritates Light – exposes and reveals John 8:12, 1:3-4

I must be an example Paul taught about example – Philippians 2:14-16 Be blameless and harmless Children of God without fault in the midst of this generation Shine as lights Peter – 1 Peter 2:11-12 1 Peter 4:3-4 Sometimes, being an example is all that we can do!

Try to win them We are called upon to try and win souls Example is the beginning, but eventually we have to teach if we are to win souls 2 Corinthians 5:10-11 June 22-23 1 Peter 3:15 Matthew 28:18-20

Am I doing my part in this world?
