Moreover, our morals are different than those of the world. Furthermore, our attitude toward death is different than those of the world. Thus, our attitudes should set us apart from those of the world. Having been introduced into the glorious kingdom of God, a kingdom that will never perish nor diminish in its glory, what a shame it would be if we clung to this dying world. Men naturally conform to the world.
Men strive for the approval and accolades of other men.
But man has fallen. Since we naturally do conform, we must make a conscious effort to avoid conformance. It is not easy to be set apart. It brings hostility and ridicule from those of the world. We convict them by pure lives set apart for God and they resent this.
