(2 Corinthians 6:17 NKJV) Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”
This verse is so often improperly quoted and too many times taken way out of context. So let’s bring some clarity to it today.
When we are told to “come out from among them”, we are being told to be different than “them”. We are not necessarily being told to physically separate ourselves from the rest of the world
We are physically in the world. We cannot leave the world in a physical sense. It’s impossible. So how do we “come out from among them”? By our actions and our behavior.
We are to be the light of the world. This means we are to present God to everyone with our words and our actions. We are to show His love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion.
This is what it means to come out from among them! This is how we reach a lost and dying world.
If we were to remove ourselves from society we would never reach anyone with the message of the Gospel and we would never be faced with anything that would test our faith and help us to grow.
So go into the world today and shine God’s light. Show His love. Practice His forgiveness, compassion and mercy. You can make a difference in someone’s life!!
