In the world we live, one must define who they are and where they stand. The world is getting darker by the day and you must understand that you are either light or belong to darkness. In the Kingdom of God there is no gray area in between.
“So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord, “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor], [Is 52:11]”
2 Corinthians 6:17 AMP
It’s like water and oil, although you pour them in the same container, they will separate. Its impossible for them to mix. Are you like the water and oil? People on the outside should be able to recognize that you are different from them. They should not feel like you are one of them. Do you know who you are in Christ and what He says about you?
““You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;”
Matthew 5:14 AMP
The issue is your foundation. If you find yourself conforming to this world then you have an identity issue. You have not concluded who you are or your purpose on earth. How can Christ representative represent darkness at the same time? You must know your assignment here on earth and fulfill it. Many do not know they are grieving the heart of God. When the world sees you they should see Christ in you and know there is something different about you. If you find yourself in the gray area aligning yourself with darkness, it is not too late. Repentance is available for you right now. Choose this day who you will serve. You have to make a decision.
“If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.””
Joshua 24:15 AMP
If you say you are light then let everything about you 24/7 represent Him. But do not mislead others and say you are the light of Christ and there is no fruit to bear witness.
You can easily measure this and know where you lie by your fruit.
“By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? [Luke 6:43, 44] Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit.”
Matthew 7:16-17 AMP
