Recreation : Re-creating the LIFE we were created to live
Jesus lived outside the box. He was the example of living counter cultural in this world. This world wants to keep a box around your life and boundaries around your potential. “In the Message translation John 17:14 says, ‘They (his followers) are no more defined by the world than I (Jesus) am defined by the world.’ The word defined here means marked by its boundaries. Whatever boundaries the world has, we don’t have those same boundaries” when we ‘Live the Life’ in Jesus Christ. (NO Boundaries, p.23)
THE BOX
THE WORLD’S SYSTEM
YOURSELF
LIVE OUTSIDE!
We are not of this world. We are born of another world, the Kingdom of God; therefore our love is for the King, His Kingdom, His royal family, and others. This world’s monetary system is money; the Kingdom of God operates by love. 1 John 2:15 -17 says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” Living forever is a product of decisions to deny ourselves. Luke 9:23-24 says, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.”
How do we live outside the box, outside the world’s system that we live in, and live outside ourselves? The simple answer is LOVE. We were made in God’s image and His image is LOVE. Every day and every moment of the day decisions are being formulated and made. Then actions follow. What do your actions say about your decisions? 1 John 3:16-18 tells us what love is, “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” Then again Jesus tells us in John 13:34, “A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples if you LOVE one another.”
When we see that our born again lives are to be limitless and without boundaries in Christ, then we choose to deny ourselves. The first action step must be to renew our minds to LOVE and put love into action.
The aim, purpose and idea for LIVE OUTSIDE! is to build awareness within the Body of Christ that we do not have to live inside this worlds box that is so prevalent today. We can however LIVE OUTSIDE! this worlds system and ways by transforming our minds to the Kingdom of God!
