Romans
12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto

to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.”

not live according to the custom or pattern of this current age. We
cannot follow the example of the world community and expect to draw
near to God. The customs and behavior of our world system are
repulsive to God. His command is, “Be ye holy; for I am holy,” 1
Peter 1:16. And again in 2 Cor. 2:16, “And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as
God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,..” The Message p.28
