ROMANS 1:1.
Paul a bond servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, SEPARATED to the gospel of God.
the word 'separated' says it all, the fact is, the more 'Spiritual' you become, the more the
world will exclude you.
we know that the 'carnal-man' cannot understand the 'Spiritual man', so this we do -
we live in The Spirit, we 'Walk in The Spirit', and we keep our mind on 'Spiritual Things'.
if we do this, we draw nearer to God and here is where we take comfort and solace,
for we can take no comfort in the world or the things in the world because they
don't exist for the Spiritually Minded;
our Father continually teaches us this, to seek nothing from the world but to be
the friend of God and if we do this, we stay in the 'will of God' as humble servant,
and so, The Lord, Jesus Christ, becomes our very Best Friend:
because of this, He guides us, He protects us, He forgives us, and He gives us
understanding into the deeper things of God.
