If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:19
Citizens of the New Kingdom do not belong to the world's system. As we live in this world, the temptation is for us to assimilate into what we see around us because our human nature seeks to belong. We are encouraged to focus on living and assimilating into the New Kingdom for we now belong to King Jesus.
King Jesus chose his citizens out of this world's system. Our focus is now on our King and what he wants us to do. The world's system and philosophies can no longer bring fulfillment and satisfaction to citizens of the New Kingdom because it is foreign to our spiritual nature.
