In this episode we will look at why Jesus says you are to hate your family members and your own life if you want to be his disciple.  Not only this, but Jesus goes on to talk about how he came to create division and not peace within a family.  Members of your own household will be your enemies and cause you to be put to death.We will look at the following topics to help understand these statements:We are commanded to not love the world, if we love the world the love of the Father is not in us.  Find out why (1 John 2:15-17)What does it mean to love your neighbor, many people say to do good; however, the answer to to not sin (Romans 13:8-12)If you are friends with the world you make yourself an adulteress and an enemy of God (James 4:4-5)The world hates those in light.  (John 7:7, 15:18-20)Members of your earthly family that do not come to God are God's enemies.  We look at passages in Exodus ch 32, and the gospel booksThose who do the will of God are Jesus's brothers and sisters and of the family of God.  There is a difference between the earthly family and the heavenly family, earthly possessions and heavenly possessions.  (various gospel books)We must be willing to lose our life to find life to eternity (various gospel books) There is a difference between our former life and new life.  We use to live as children of wrath, but now we no longer walk in the sin we once were enslaved.  We are to separate ourselves and live holy godly lives.  (Ephesians ch2, 2 Corinthians ch 6).
