What does the Bible say about being a separated people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes that God's people are a separated people, set apart by God for His glory and purpose.

The concept of being a separated people is deeply rooted in Scripture, particularly in Ezra 9, which discusses how the children of Israel were called to separate themselves from the surrounding nations. In Ezra 9:1, it highlights that they had not separated themselves from the people of the land, which served as a warning against mingling with those who do not follow God. The term 'saints,' meaning sanctified ones, signifies those who are set apart for God's service. This separation is not merely a physical distance but a profound spiritual distinction made by God between His chosen people and the world. God makes us differ through His sovereign choice, as seen in Romans 1, where it describes the decline of society when people reject God's knowledge.
