God Never Calls Us to Rebel Against the World

anger

I searched for scripture which said to rebel against the world, but found none.  I thought that was curious until God showed me that we can not rebel against something which we have no allegiance to.  Christians are not of  this world but of Heaven.

We can conform to this world and scripture tells not to in Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

You do not belong to this world so while you might walk, talk and live like others who do not know Christ, you do not belong to it.  If you do conform to this world, then you are rebelling against God to whom you belong.  God is our king, not Satan, so to rebel against God is treason.
