Day 105
Biblical Principle -
Absolute truth from God’s Word:
Truth: Do not act like, look like, live like the worldly
people. The LORD wants us to be
different and distinct for a purpose.
Sometimes standards are just for a distinguishing mark not for religious
restrictions.
Deut 14:1-3 Ye are the children of the LORD your God:
ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the
dead.
For thou art an holy people
unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people
unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable
thing.
Practical - Works
that apply Biblical Principle:
This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in
your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical
ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important
to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.
The distinction given the Christians is to show the worldly
people good works to show we are removed from darkness to the light.
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of
good works.
1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
light;
Mathew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that
is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
