the world would be just the same as the bible says..
false prophets, many false religions, moral decline etc...
describing the inner man this book is 100% accurate and convicting to the reader...
for example:
Luk 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luk 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luk 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his stake, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

The world would be different if the elect came out from among them and live righteously before God our creator. If we only accessed his throne room of grace and lived as we are called, instead we hide in our churches and pray for change. Don't get me wrong we are to be praying but we are also to be doers of the word also.
Col 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
What a difference if the elect lived by this passage alone.

amen Donna
if everyone who is saved would act accordingly the world would be a different place, if we spent the time being doers of the word that we spend arguing about doctrine we would acomplis a lot more
I have met amway salemen that are more dedicated to selling amway than most christians are to getting the gospel out
its crazy when we are among other christians we dont mind talking about the lord and "taking a stand"
but how do we act in our work place?
do we laugh at dirty jokes?
do we take part in looking at the blonde in the tight blue jeans or the guy with the big muscles , do we watch our mouths and not say bad words?
Do we imitate Christ in our everyday lives or do we immitate the rest of the world because we are afraid of being different or being made fun of
I get made fun of on my job and I know hgow hummiliating it can be!
in fact one lady that is a boss where I work she would talk so dirty she said unbelieveabl things about what she would do to certain men and just nasty talk!
When I started there it didnt take long for them to realize that I am a christian because this one lady would say really dirty stuff! and when she did I never scolded her or got angry or upset but all I did was turn bright red and walk away, she realzed that what she wa saying made me turn red and embarassed me s she started doing it on purpose.
She would say something bad then point at me and say look , look at her face she is red as a beet!
then one day she said something that hurt my feelings really bad she said "ahhhh you quit that innocent act, your not as inocent as you act like you are"
well that hurt my feelings I was vey hurt I had never said one word to her about her dirty jokes and the inapropriat things she said, I just walked off and put her name of the prayer list she was at the time about to have some tests run, they asked me to pray for her, so when I went to church I added her to our prayer list in which we lpray over as a church once a week and I began praying for her myself!
3 weeks ago she got saved, her husband met a man that was a preacher and they started going to his church, well she started going to church 3 weeks ago I dont kn ow when she got saved but I saw a change in her almost immedietly but last sunday she went to the alter and I have seen her get better and better and she is ashamed of the dirty things she has said, she expressed to me personaly that she hopes people wont rememebr the things she said!
She came to me the other night and said thank you for praying for me!
What a blessing to see God working in her life,
I told her that when you pray for someone and then you see Goid save them, its ablessing for many reasons but one is it renews and increases the faith in the one who has been praying, he sister had also been praying for her and I told her, I am sure thats a huge blessing to her sister, as it was a blessing to me
its one thing when the people you are an influence on such as your husband or children and family get saved because you have been an influence on them, but when you pray for someone who you have absolutly no influence over and then God saves them, well thats an amazing blessing and strengthend my faith a great deal
