BE YE SEPARATE

57 And now I say unto you, all you that are desirous to follow the voice of the ^agood shepherd, come ye out from the wicked, and BE YE SEPARATE and touch not their unclean things; and behold, their names shall be ^cblotted out, that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered among the names of the righteous, that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith: The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people;

We are told to "be ye separate." We can only do this by separating ourselves from the world and its influence. We have to make the simple choice each day of who we want to follow. When we choose Christ we are setting ourselves apart from the world. At times it might seem difficult to choose Christ because we feel as though we might not fit in with what everyone else is doing. Satan makes it very easy to feel that way and makes it seem like it is a hard choice but its not! We know who will win this war in the end and if we can make the choice to follow Christ each day in all aspects we will have the spirit with us and it will help us to make the right choices every day. I am so grateful for this gospel! We are called to stand out and be witnesses of Christ! I know that as we make the choice to BE YE SEPARATE and choose to stand on Christ's side we will be blessed to have His spirit with us and we will be numbered among the righteous so we can return to live with Him again!
