In Exodus 11:7, God tells Moses, “Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.”
God makes the distinction between his people and the surrounding culture. Our job is to follow God no matter what he asks us to do and allow God to make the distinction. Too often, the focus has been on making ourselves look distinct in externals such as dress and music. This results in only making us look odd.
For the believer, the real distinction should be internal. We should be loving when the world expects revenge. We should be peaceful when the world is in turmoil. We should be focused on eternity when the world is focused on now. We need to live out what we claim to believe and bear the aroma of Jesus into the stench of the world (2 Corinthians 2:15).
