These clear commandments help us through the moral mine field of this world. Most commandments of the New Testament are clear enough. However, there are also principles, rules, and standards in the New Testament which the believer can apply to doubtful situations and which frequently lead to separation from certain questionable practices or activities. There are a number of tests available. The believer lays aside every weight that would hinder his race.
Lawful things can become wrong when they enslave the individual.
In morally indifferent matters the believer's love for his brother prompts him to curtail his liberty. The believer is encouraged to act wisely toward the unbeliever, avoiding behavior that would hinder his witness. This is the all-inclusive test for the believer's conduct. To glorify God is to display any or all of His attributes. If we are to be more like the Savior then we must be less like the world.
