Part Three: Distinct

Distinct.

Separations are sometimes seen in a negative light.
And occasionally they are falsely created.
Yet Christians are commanded to be distinct,
“different,” if you will.
Yet not as some say they are to be different.

“If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here….What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” (Exodus 33:15)

Moses knew that God dwelling among the Israelites
was the only thing able to transform their lives
enough to make them different.
Good different.

Distinct and set apart in calling,
purpose,
and Power.

Distinguished enough that people wondered
and marveled
and recognized that the God of the Israelites
was GOD.

IS God!

Set apart by God
to reflect God
in Christ
by the Spirit.
