Romans 12:2 ESV Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
1 Peter 2:9 ESV But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
A Call to Holiness

How should we live in light of God saying, “Be holy for I am holy”?
I had not been returning my friends' calls. In their faces, I saw things Edward assured me were not there. Lyndsey was pregnant and oddly triumphant, as if the baby were some final victory in the volley of our lives. She would be a mother; I would be the victim of a notorious and elusive criminal. She asked me, incessantly, about my plans. Alison's kindness had started to bore me. I did not want the contents of her Tupperware.
Abigail Dean, from The Death of Us
"We're not called to live by human reason. All that matters is obedience to God's Word and His leading in our lives. If God says go, we’ll go. If He says stay, we’ll stay. When we are in His will, we are in the safest place in the world." -Brother Yun
It's impossible to follow both Jesus and the world because they are going in opposing directions.
“The world” means living for sin, pride, and self. Jesus calls us to live for Him.
“Do not love the world… If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”
— 1 John 2:1
