OUR CULTURE IS IN CHRIST

Monday, August 9th 2021

Pastor Chris

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2).

As Christians, though we’ve been called and chosen out of the world, we still live among different  people  with  different  cultures,  backgrounds and mindsets. Sometimes, some Christians find themselves caught in a conflict between their Christian faith and what obtains in an earthly culture. First, it’s important  to  understand  that  being  born  again,  your primary culture is in Christ Jesus. You must imbibe the culture of the Word of God. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 says if any man be in Christ, he is  a  new  creature;  you  don’t  have  another  nature,  or belong to another culture; the Word of God is what guides your way of life and principles. Culture is often simply defined as the way of life of a people, and for us, Christ is our life (Colossians 3:4) and faith in the Word is our lifestyle (Hebrews 10:38, 2 Corinthians 5:7). 

Some people like to identify with,  or participate in “cultural” ceremonies in their countries, cities, or towns of natural birth. However, such  “sub-cultures” or cultural events must not negate or be contrary to the Word of God and your faith in Christ Jesus. 

When you’re  cultured  by the Word,  your outlook on life changes. The Word will choose your new norms and become your reference for and in everything. You’ll only embrace and celebrate Christ-values; those things the Kingdom stands for—what you have, who you are—your heritage in Christ. Hallelujah! 

PRAYER 
Righteous Father, I rejoice at the transformation your  Word  brings  to  my  spirit  always;  your  Word has given me a culture and the mindset of success and greatness. I celebrate my great heritage in Christ—who I am and all the blessings of the heavenly Kingdom to which I belong, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Galatians 3:27-28 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
