Our Standing in the World

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the biblical truth that the world lies helplessly under the dominion of the wicked one, contrasting this with the world's deceptive belief in freedom apart from God. Believers are called to live in the world without loving it, maintaining their minds renewed by God's Word, and influencing others by living as citizens of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus prayed not for believers to be taken out of the world, but to be kept from its corrupting influence.
