HIGHER STANDARDS
(Live Above The Indecent
Standards of The World)
📖TO THE BIBLE - 2 Corinthians 6:17
“Therefore ‘come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.’”
LET’S TALK ➡️
Marine biologists have observed that fish placed in polluted water gradually adapt to it. They don’t recognise the contamination because they’ve grown accustomed to swimming in it. Only when transferred to clean water do they realise the difference.Similarly, when you’ve been surrounded by certain behaviours long enough, they begin to feel normal, even when they’re slowly degrading the standards you once had.
As a Christian, you should never be swayed by the world’s standards. God’s Word teaches us moderation, not excess. There are things you just shouldn’t allow. As a Christian, you have a higher life with higher standards. There should, therefore, be some decency in your dressing, speech, and way of life. Read our opening scripture again; it says, “…Come out from among them and be separate…;” that means “Be different!” You have a different life, a different culture, and a different mindset; it’s called the mindset of the righteous.
You were sanctified by the Spirit, which means He. separated and declared you holy and undefiled. Therefore, walk in righteousness. Don’t let those of the world drag you into ungodly behaviours;otherwise, you can’t win them for the Lord. Your standards have to be higher to do so. Copy the Master; think like Him; act like Him; talk like Him. There’s a decency that goes with the Spirit of God, and that decency must be evident in your life.Let everything about you edify others and bring glory to the Lord in every way and every day, for you’re the light in a dark and perverted world.

Romans 13:13-14 NIV; 1 Corinthians 14:40; Matthew 5:16
Pray
Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word in my life. You’ve made me an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity, and I show myself in all respects to be a true model of righteousness and good works. I’m the light of the world, and my light shines ever so brightly, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
