You spent enough time in the past doing what unbelievers like to do. You were promiscuous, had sinful desires, got drunk, went to wild parties, and took part in the forbidden worship of false gods. Unbelievers insult you now because they are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of wild living. They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
– 1 Peter 4:3-5 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
People look at us strangely now because we don’t act the way they do anymore. What they consider fun and a “good time” now holds no interest for us. Is it any wonder then that they should think something is wrong with us? They know deep within their hearts that it is they themselves that are not living right but since “they can’t be wrong” they instead act like WE are. If they don’t surrender to Christ their day of judgment will come. Pray for them that their eyes will be opened!
