Saints Are Set For Separation
Tuesday, August 26, 2025Key Verse
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” (2 Corinthians 6:17).
Text — 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Message
Faith in Christ conveys on the believer the call and responsibility of saintly living. One practical way saints live is by separating themselves to God and His righteous ways. We read prophetically in Ezekiel 28:14-15 that Lucifer, the anointed Cherub, was ‘Set So’ by God and dedicated for a holy service in heaven but his unwillingness to stay separated to God’s holiness led him into the iniquity of disloyalty, pride and rebellion. His action of insubordination led to his eternal expulsion from heaven. This is a lesson for youths who are not separated to God and still continue in their sinful lifestyles.
Christian youths are expected to present their lives as a sacrifice and an offering to God, their Maker and Redeemer. You are to consciously abstain from anything, activity or persons that can separate you from fellowship with God. However, separation to God is only possible when you genuinely repent of your sins and embrace Christ as Lord and Saviour of your life. It is at that point that the Lord will accept your body as a living sacrifice.
