What would you say to that question, 'What kind of world is it ?' ,the bible teaches clearly that it is a fallen world, it will never change,as it is we can never make it a heaven and earth. That does not mean to say we cannot make a difference,I believe we are meant to ,Matthew5 v 13 - 14 tells us that we are,' the salt of the world',and that we are, 'the light of this world'. Salt stops corruption, light displaces the darkness'. Dick Lucas writes,' In short, Christians must live and suffer in an evil world. At the same time, the new born Christian is called to be a vigorous peacemaker, whether in family matters or in the larger affairs of people and nations, and the church is to be a community of peace in a world of war. It also remains true that human tyranny will not cease until Christ returns. People will continue to oppress and exploit their fellows .In spite of this we can to some extent make a difference for the better, it is possible, it is expected by our Saviour that we should.
