Who or what is "the world" in Christian terms?



The biblical definition of "the world" is
anyone (person) who lives on earth and does not know God
or know of God
or choose to have a relationship with God. 
Because they do not know Him. 

Knowing OF Him doesn't count. 
Anyone can know there is a God.
But unless they have a relationship with Him, they are not counted in His family,
therefore they are outside of the "family of God".

If you are not a believer in Christianity (the gospel of Jesus and His life and sacrifice),
you are not part of the family of God.
That means you are part of the world outside of Him.

If two people are not believing the same thing, they cannot know each other fully
because they do not share the same core beliefs. They are not family, in that sense.
