They Just Don't Get It!

I Peter 4:3-4 says, "For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you." When we get saved and all things are becoming new and the old is put off, those we partied with and did evil things with, just don't get it. They don't like the fact that we are in love with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and not into carnal things. Rest assured that they will speak evil of you for your righteousness. They didn't get it when it first happened and they don't get it now. Remember that light and dark have no fellowship with one another. If we walk in the light as He is in the light we will have fellowship with one another.
