God sets His people apart so that He can bless, protect, and provide for them. For a time, that meant a literal, spatial separation. After Christ came, God sent His people out into the world so that we might live holy lives even in the midst of those who do not know Him. In this story, we’ll see that tension and learn what God intends for us in it.
