Not of the world

The Lord beckons you to be free from “Babylon.” (Isa 48:20) Babylon is a symbol of the world and its anti-Christ systems. It seduces us into captivity. It offers success, power, wealth, pleasure and comfort but it produces bondage. God calls his people out of Babylon (Isa 52:11). We are to live in the grace of his forgiveness, in gratitude for his mercy, and in the joy of his salvation (Isa 50:10, 51:5). Has the world captured you? You can be free. Trust in God and forsake Babylon (Joh 15:19).
