How do we know that avoiding conformity to the world is true?
Answered in 1 source
The avoidance of worldly conformity is grounded in Scripture, which calls us to a distinct Christian identity and living that glorifies God.
We know avoiding conformity to the world is true because the Scriptures distinctly call believers to live according to God's principles rather than those of society. This separation is not an abandonment of our responsibilities or relationships in this world, but a commitment to live differently. As Christians, we are to engage in the world for good but not adopt its values or practices that contradict our faith (Romans 12:2). Being transformed by the renewing of our minds helps us discern what is good and acceptable in God's sight, enabling us to resist the sinful tendencies of the world.
