Love of other Christians and our neighbors should separate us from the world as a beacon for Christ
![Luke 16:13-15 [ESV]
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will
hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted
to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God
and money.”
The Law and the Kingdom of God
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all
these things, and they ridiculed him. 15 And he said to
them, “You are those who justify yourselves before
men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted
among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

![Luke 16:16-17 [ESV]
16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since
then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached,
and everyone forces his way into it. 17 But it is easier for
heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the
Law to become void.
