Today’s topic: To Be Set Apart

God sets apart believers in Christ to be His chosen people. We are also set apart by God to do work for him on earth.

Jesus said in St. John 17:16-19
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.


We are also called to be holy, just as God is holy (1 Peter 1:15-16). 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

This means when we are set apart by God, we are to live our lives differently than the world. We have to live according to how God wants us to live, Not the way the world wants us to live. We have to listen to God and do what he tells us to do. We need to do things his way. We need to live according to God’s word. We need to focus on God and not get caught up in the world. His word is real. The things you see are happening. The things you read in his word are happening.
