Standards Separate

Standards Separate

Standards separate — especially when you let how others live become your guiding post.

God has standards. He loves order.

He wrote His order into His Word — not to restrict us, but to align us with Himself.

“Live by these,” He says, “and My ways will become your ways. My order, your order. My holiness, your standard.”

Anything less breeds confusion and chaos, for where there is no divine order, there is no lasting peace.

1 Peter 5:8“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

The devil looks for gaps in our thinking — subtle spaces where pride can creep in. He twists standards, so we measure ourselves against others, or worse, believe we are better than others.

But if we use our personal way of living as the measure of righteousness, we abandon God’s order as the true and only standard.

We all prefer different things. No two people are the same. So preference cannot be the gauge.

Holiness is the standard.

Not preference.

Not culture.

Not personality.

Holiness.

Full stop.
