When you look today, you will will realise that some believers don’t have a difference with the people of the world. They talk like the people of the world. They do thing’s like the people of the world. They carry on their lives like the people of the world.Ephesians 4:17[17]So this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility] of their minds.
