About This Quote
The warnings given to the Hebrews against assimilating with the heathen were not more direct or explicit than are those forbidding Christians to conform to the spirit and customs of the ungodly. Jesus was not only warning his followers against ungodliness, but also against conforming to the customs of other cultures. He wanted to avoid assimilation with the world. Jesus never wanted his followers to be like others. He wanted them to be different, so that they could be an example to all mankind.
