Concise Theology: The World

How should Christians relate to the world? In this episode, we unpack J.I. Packer’s definition of “the world” as human society organized in rebellion against God. While we live in the world, we are not to be shaped by it. Packer challenges believers to maintain spiritual discernment, holiness, and mission—without either withdrawal or compromise. Christ calls us to faithfulness in a fallen system, with hope fixed on the world to come.
