32.What is true of the present world? .

Back to Study the Book of First Corinthians

It belongs to the saints. We are so accustomed to viewing the world in which we live as belonging to Satan and to sinners that it may be difficult for us to accept the fact that the world belongs to the righteous.

The world, the nations, the earth itself belong to Christ. Because all these belong to Christ they belong to us.

The Thirty-seventh Psalm proclaims that the earth belongs to the saints, not to the sinners.

The peoples of the earth, and the earth itself, are the inheritance of Christ. They are our land of promise.

As of now, the devil and his servants are dwelling in our land.

The wicked will be driven out at the return of Christ and then we shall understand fully that the world belongs to the saints.
