Separation from the World

“For whom I have suffered the loss of all things.”
— Phil. 3:8

“Where activity is distinctly wanting is in bringing up Christ to souls and devotedness to Him, unworldliness, a life where we do one thing, a home, dress, manners, which say that Christ is all.”

“(2 Cor. 6:17-18.) We come out from among the worldly … in order to enter into the relationship of sons and daughters to the Almighty God: otherwise we cannot possibly realise this relationship. God will not have worldlings in relation with Himself as sons and daughters; they have not entered into this position with regard to Him.”
