How do we know that Christians should practice separation from the world?

Answered in 1 source

The practice of separation is grounded in God's command for His people to be holy, as expressed in Leviticus 20 and supported by New Testament teachings.

Christians are called to practice separation from the world based on God's explicit command for holiness found in the Scriptures. In Leviticus 20, God instructs His people, 'Ye shall be holy unto me; for I the Lord am holy.' This theme of living in holiness continues into the New Testament, where believers are urged to avoid worldly practices and instead reflect Christ in their behavior. Moreover, in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18, Paul reiterates the call for believers to come out from among them and be separate, signaling that there is a clear expectation from God for His people to differentiate themselves from worldly standards and practices. This biblical narrative consistently supports the truth that separation is essential for honoring God.
