Separation Because of Separation

Separation Because of Separation - John 15:19 

INTRODUCTION

Separation is the outcome of separation. When a nation (i.e., Israel in the Old Testament) or an individual (i.e., a believer in the New Testament) is set apart by the Lord, that person or nation is immediately disassociated with the rest of the world. Moses made this point in Exodus 33:16 when he said, "For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth." Separation is not something that is accomplished by diligent effort; rather, it should be the natural occurrence when a person comes to know the Lord as Saviour.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

  • (For smaller children) John 15:19 tells us that when you know the Lord and live for Him, others who don't know Him will hate you. Read one account in 1 John 3:12-13. When you go to church, read your Bible, dress godly, etc., you may be made fun of (1 Peter 4:4).
  • Have you trusted the Lord as Saviour? How has this changed your ability to closely associate with those who have not yet trusted the Lord as their Saviour?
  • Who were your closest friends before you were born again? Who are your closest friends now? Are they the same? Why is that? Are they different? Why?

PRAYER NEEDS

  • Ask the Lord to help you examine your separation from others.
  • Thank the Lord for the changes He has wrought in your life.
