What does the Bible say about being a separate people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's people are called to be separate, sanctified, and set apart for His purposes.

In Ezra 9, the concept of separation is emphasized as God's people are called to distinguish themselves from the world. The term 'saints' signifies those who are sanctified or set apart by God. This calling for separation is not just physical but is rooted in a spiritual identity as God's elect, chosen in Christ. The Lord Himself makes a distinction between His people and the world, as seen in Exodus 11, showing that He puts a difference between those who belong to Him and those who do not. This separation is vital for maintaining holiness and for living a life that glorifies God.
