Belonging to God in a Troubled World

Greetings to all. This Sunday, let's choose not to follow the ways of the world around us.

Even though Satan has influence in the world, we have our place in it too. As believers, we belong to our Heavenly Father, who lets us know and understand Him as the True One to follow.

1 John 5:19–21 (NCV)

19 We know that we belong to God, but the Evil One controls the whole world.

20 We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we can know the True One. And our lives are in the True One and in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the eternal life.

21 So, dear children, keep yourselves away from false gods.

Lesson: When we keep our faith, it gives us hope to get through the challenges of this world. In Jesus, we are assured that we belong to God, and this hope helps us face whatever comes.
