As Christians we are told by the bible to live holy lives that reflect the nature of God. We are to separate ourselves from actions, influences, or people that will hinder our service to God.

Do you understand that as a Christian you are to live differently from those in the world? Sounds simple, but there are a lot of people who think they can get saved and still hang out with the same crowd, they think they can still go to the same places, but you can’t.

The bible tells Christians to be separate from the world. That means when you get saved you change your life, you change your friends, and you change your hangouts. But, that doesn’t mean you abandon your lost friends. You still talk to your old friends after you get saved, you just change the topic of your conversations. You can still hang out with your old friends, you just change the location. Instead of going out with them, bring them to church with you.

My point is, you don’t abandon sinners, but you don’t join them either. As a Christian, you are to bring them up to your level, not let them bring you down to theirs.

A Christian is directed by God’s word to apply the biblical principles of separation and avoid a few things:

1) We are to steer clear of anything that goes against biblical standards.

If the bible said it was a sin 1500 years ago, then it’s still a sin today, the bible does not change to fit the changing culture.

2) Avoid any association that will hinder your spiritual life:

PRAYER 
O Lord, grant me the grace to separate myself from evil association and demonic practices that could endanger my soul, keep me holy through the help of the Holy spirit in Jesus mighy Name.

WORD FOR PONDER 
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6 : 14
