Jesus Christ associates with the unclean sinner. 

John 4:27

“And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?” John 4:27 

Jesus and all of His disciples were Jewish, and it was a law that they did not associate with Samaritans and Gentiles. The woman was a Samaritan, whom Jesus was talking to, and she was considered to be an unclean sinner and classified among the Gentiles. “And at this point…” refers to when the disciples were returning from their trip into town and saw Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well. Unlike the customary Jews under the control of the Pharisees, the disciples of Jesus did not condemn nor question Him about His association with an unclean sinner.

Today, those who live for the “democratic” society have an unwritten law that they do not cordially associate with people who are outside their social network. It is their purpose to use negative feedback towards those who do not live by the thing forming thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. However, they positively reinforce those who do welcome the image of the beast to live and speak through them by the thing giving them what to think and feel. They are using behavior modification to conform people to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Jesus Christ came to look for the unclean cleaner and those not accepted by the broad way of mainstream society. The way to destruction is broad but the road leading to life is narrow.

Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

Matthew 18:10-11

We can assess that in today’s society there are barriers to social acceptance due to those who welcome the thing forming their thoughts, words, behaviors, and feelings and those who do not welcome it. The diagnosis is that the attitude of those living for the culture of this world will never give social approval to those not living for the anti-Christian world. As Christians, we plan to remain set apart from the broad way of mainstream society because it leads to destruction and eternal hell. We plan to remain on the narrow road leading to eternal life. We implement that plan by living in the mercy and grace of God through Jesus Christ. We desire to let the light of Christ shine through us to the broken-hearted, outcasts, and sinners to bring the Good News of victory over sin and death. We know the plan is successful when we reach out to whoever we can to let them know, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
