Once a sheep of the world, now His: a short confession of faith
The author writes a short personal confession about leaving behind the desire to fit in with the crowd. They state that they no longer follow the crowd but follow Christ, and that they no longer seek acceptance from people but acceptance from Him. The author adds that they no longer live for this world but live for His Kingdom, and describes their former life as having been a sheep of the world, in contrast to belonging to Christ now.
The post closes with the word Amen and a set of symbols, including a cross. There is no discussion in the thread; the post is a single statement of personal commitment with no replies, questions, or further context given. The language is direct and declarative throughout, built on a series of contrasts: crowd versus Christ, acceptance by people versus acceptance by Him, this world versus His Kingdom, being the world's sheep versus being His.
