In every generation, God calls His people to be different. “Be ye separate” is not a call to isolation, but a call to consecration. To be separate means to be set apart for God, living holy and distinct from worldly compromise while remaining faithful to Christ. When the Kingdom of God is truly within us, our values, choices, and lifestyle will reflect Heaven. In a world of compromise, God still seeks a people who are distinct, holy, and fully devoted to Him. We must be separate in our associations by choosing godly influences, in our affections by loving God above the world, in our morality by living pure and disciplined lives, and in our doctrine by holding firmly to sound biblical truth.
