12. God Vs The World

13. God’s Love
Romans 5:8 ESV But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 8:37-39 ESV No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

14. Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you.
The World’s Love
1 John 3:13
Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you.
John 15:18-21
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

15. God’s Acceptance
John 6:37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. Romans 15:7 ESV Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. John 10:29 ESV My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

16. The World’s Acceptance
2 Timothy 3:12 ESV Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted Hebrews 10:25 ESV Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

17. Trusting God
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Hebrews 13:8 ESV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Psalm 9:10 ESV And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

18. Trusting the World
Micah 7:5-8 ESV Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms; for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. John 2:24-25 ESV But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

19. Conclusion
It is okay if you don’t fit in the crowd, because we were made to fit in the Family of God. Amen
