John 15:19 states, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” God commands His people to be separate from the world. 2 Corinthians 6:17, “‘Therefore, Come out from them and be separate,’ says the Lord.”
In today’s episode we profile ten Bible characters who dared to be different, who heeded God’s call to come out and be separate: Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Rahab, Deborah, David, Solomon, Elijah, Daniel, and John the Baptist. Additional scriptures referenced include John 15:19; Genesis 6:9; Hebrews 11:8; Genesis 39:5; 1 Kings 3:4-15; 1 Kings 10:27; 1 Kings 10:23; 1 Kings 4:20-25; and 1 Kings 18:17-40.
