01 Not of This World

In John 17, Jesus reminds us that we are not of this world, and we do not belong to this world. The Apostle Paul further warns us in 2 Timothy 3:2 that in the last days, people will be lovers of self and lovers of money. If we allow idols such as these in our lives, we do not esteem the great salvation that we have through Jesus. In this message, Andre van der Merwe shows us that our position in Jesus and in His body calls us to live a life worthy of our salvation—this great gift we received is not just for our own benefit. We are called to a life that is outwardly focused and surrendered to the Lord.
