3 "Not Like Us" in the scriptures

2 Negatives 1 Positive

1. Self Inflected Intimidation

Numbers 13:27–28 NIV
They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
Numbers 13:30–31 NIV
Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”
Numbers 13:33 KJV 1900
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Takeaway A: Devaluing You, because of Them is NOT of God

2. Our Way is the ONLY way syndrome

Mark 9:38–40 CSB
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he wasn’t following us.” “Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle in my name who can soon afterward speak evil of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.

Mark 9:40 MSG If he’s not an enemy, he’s an ally.

Takeaway B: Making unnecessary enemies because You're too Judgmental is NOT of God

3. We are Locked In

1 Thessalonians 5:6 NIV
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
Hebrews 10:37–39 CSB
For yet in a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, I have no pleasure in him. But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.
Joshua 24:15b (ESV)
…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Takeaway C: Coming this far only to Quit now is NOT of God
