What Does It Mean to Live in a Pagan Society as a Christian?
We are living in unprecedented times where morality is redefined, truth is subjective, and godly values are under attack. Many believers are asking, How do we live holy in a society that no longer honors God?
Jesus said in John 15:19,
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world... therefore the world hateth you.”
The moment you said "yes" to Christ, you became a foreigner in this world. You were called to be set apart, just like Daniel.
Daniel: A Biblical Example of Living in a Pagan Culture
Daniel was taken captive and placed in Babylon—a nation that did not honor God. Yet he lived with unwavering faith, refusing to bow to idols or defile himself with the king’s food.
Daniel, along with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, shows us what it means to live in obedience to God in a system that demands compromise. They didn’t form political protests. They didn’t shout about their rights. They quietly lived out their faith—with boldness and unwavering conviction.
When forced to bow to an idol or stop praying to God, they obeyed God over man, even when it meant being thrown into the fire or lion’s den.
They trusted God for the outcome. Shouldn’t we?
Modern-Day Babylon: Are We Compromising?
Our society is increasingly mirroring Babylon more than ever. God has been pushed out of schools, government, and the public square. Biblical values are now considered hate speech. Children are being indoctrinated with teachings that directly oppose Scripture.
Sadly, many Christians have aligned more with political parties than the gospel of Jesus Christ. But the truth is—no political party can save us. Only Jesus can.
As Paul reminds us in 1 John 2:15-16,
“Do not love the world or anything in the world... For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father.”
What About Government, Elections, and Socialism?
Many ask: Should we be involved in politics? Or, Why is socialism rising in America and the world?
Here’s the truth: socialism, rooted in secular humanism, is an antichrist system. It thrives on big government, control, the removal of God, and moral relativism. Nations that embrace socialism often strip away religious freedoms.
In the Garden of Eden, Satan introduced humanism: “You shall be as gods.” (Genesis 3:5). That mindset is still with us today—man wanting to define right and wrong apart from God.
Yet we must remember: God is sovereign. While we can and should vote righteously, the Bible is already written. The spirit of the antichrist must rise before Jesus returns. We are watching prophecy unfold before our eyes.
So, What Can We Do?
We must prepare spiritually. We must walk in holiness and boldness like Daniel. We must raise our children in truth, not compromise. We must pray and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
In 1 Peter 2:11-12, Peter exhorts us to live pure lives among the pagans so our good deeds glorify God—even when the world accuses us of evil.
Spiritual Warfare Prayers for Protection
Here are three key prayers you can pray daily:
-
Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18):
“Father, I put on the full armor of God today... shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit... I stand firm against all schemes of the enemy.” -
Covering Your Family:
“Lord, place a hedge of protection around me and my household. Guard our minds and hearts in Christ Jesus. Protect us from deception.” -
Boldness and Discernment:
“Father, give me discernment in these last days. Help me not to conform to the world. Fill me with holy boldness to stand for truth.”
Be Encouraged: Jesus Wins!
Though darkness seems to be increasing, we must remember—Jesus is coming soon for His bride. The kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our God. Until then, we occupy with holiness, humility, and faith.
Philippians 3:20 says,
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
So don't despair. God has placed you here for such a time as this. Live set apart. Be the light. Stand firm. And never compromise.
