What does the Bible say about being set apart by God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God sets apart the godly for Himself, affirming their righteousness in Christ.

Psalm 4:3 states, 'But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for himself.' This illustrates the doctrine of election, whereby God chooses individuals to belong to Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Being set apart is not based on any inherent godliness in individuals, but rather on God's gracious decision to make them holy and blameless in love. Furthermore, it reflects the profound truth that we can only be righteous because God has deemed us so through Christ. True believers are therefore assured of their status as set apart by the Sovereign grace of God.
