I Was Sanctified (Separated)--Part 2


I Was Sanctified (1 Corinthians 1:2; 1:30)

Separation from means that God has saved us from all that is evil and sinful. Separation unto means that God has saved us unto Himself (for Himself), that we might belong to Him and enjoy Him forever. There are some verses that speak only of separation from and there are other verses that speak only of separation unto. Look up the following passages, read them carefully, and if the verse is speaking of separation from, write "from." If the verse is speaking of separation unto, write "unto." The verse may or may not have the word "from" or "unto" contained in it. It is not the word we are looking for, but the idea.

__________ Psalm 107:2 _____________ 2 Cor. 5:15 ___________ 1 Pet. 1:3-4
__________ Matthew 1:21 _____________ 2 Cor. 5:18 ___________ 1 Pet. 2:25
__________ Luke 1:16 _____________ Gal. 1:4 ___________ 1 Pet. 5:10

__________ Romans 1:1 _____________ 1 Thess. 1:10 ___________ 2 Pet. 1:9
__________ 1 Cor. 1:9 _____________ 1 Thess. 2:12 ___________ Rev. 5:9

FACT NUMBER 5 – God has put a DIFFERENCE between the saved and the unsaved and God demands that this DIFFERENCE be very clear and very well defined. Therefore the believer MUST live a separated life!

As we study God’s Word we soon learn that there is a great difference between those that are saved and those that are lost. Look up the following verses, read them carefully and match the proper letter with the proper number:

UNSAVED SAVED SCRIPTURE VERSES
1) ______ death life A.  Luke15:24
2) ______ death unto death life unto life B.  John 3:16
3) ______ darkness light C.  John 3:18
4) ______ night day D.  John 5:24
5) ______ lost found E.  John 8:12
6) ______ unrighteousness righteousness F.  1 Cor. 1:18
7) ______ infidel believer G.  2 Cor. 2:16
8) ______ condemnation no condemnation H.  2 Cor. 6:14
9) ______ perish everlasting life I.  2 Cor. 6:15

In Leviticus 20:22-23 we learn that God wanted the children of Israel to follow:

a. the other nations
b. the Egyptians
c. His Word
d. their own desires

T-F _________________ Deuteronomy 18:9-14: God wanted the children of Israel to enter into the promised land (Palestine) so that they could learn the customs of the heathen nations and imitate their ways.

Does God put a DIFFERENCE between the unclean and the clean (Leviticus 10:10; 11:47)? _______ Read carefully John 13:2 and John 13:10-11. Were all of the 12 disciples clean? ______ What was the name of the unclean disciple? ______________  Was there a great difference (in God’s eyes) between him and the other eleven? ___________

In Ephesians 2:11-13 Paul reminds the Ephesian believers of the time when they were unsaved: "remember that ye, being in time past (before you were saved) _________________in the flesh" (v.11). Before you were saved, were you without Christ (Eph. 2:12)? __________ Were you without any real hope? _____ Were you without God? ______________

According to Ephesians 4:17, should we live the way unsaved people live? _____ Should we live the way we used to live when we were unsaved? ________ Is Ephesians 4:17-19 a good description of what you were like when you were unsaved? __________ When a person comes to know the truth that is in Christ will he want to live the same way he used to live when he was unsaved (Eph. 4:20-21)? _______ Does God want us to imitate the sons of disobedience (Eph. 5:6-7)? ________ Because we are no longer in darkness (see John 8:12; Colossians 1:13; 1 Peter 2:9; and 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8), how are we to walk (read Eph. 5:8)? _________________________________________________________


What should we put off (Col. 3:9; Eph. 4:22)? ________________________________ What should we put on (Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:10)? ______________________________ Because we are in Christ what are we (2 Corinthians 5:17)? ________________________________________________ Therefore, should we continue to live a life of sin? ___________

We learn from 1 Thessalonians 4:5 that the Gentiles do not know _________. Does the believer know God (John 17:3; 1 John 5:20)? ___________ Should the believer live the same way as those who do not know God? ________ If a person truly knows the living God, will that make a difference in the way he lives and acts and walks? _______

Is Titus 3:3 a good description of your life before you were saved? ________ Has Christ made a DIFFERENCE (Titus 3:4-7)? ________ What should the believer be careful to maintain each and every day? (Titus 3:8) ________________________________ We learn in Titus 3:14 that God does not want the believer to be _______________________.

Should we be living our lives according to the former lusts and desires that we had when we were unsaved (1 Peter 1:14)? _______ Who now works in us to give us the desire to please Christ (Phil. 2:13)? __________ Has God completely removed our old sinful desires or do we still have them (read Romans 7:15-25)? ______________________________ And yet, because we are saved we also have the desire to do the _________ of God (1 Pet. 4:2). Why did Christ come into the world (Hebrews 10:7)? _____________________________________________________________

If we are truly saved, will our unsaved friends and loved ones be able to see a difference in our lives (1 Pet. 4:3-4)? __________ Will they think it strange and unusual when we don’t do some of the things we used to do? _________

True-False _________________ I thank the Lord that He has saved me and made me a new creature in Christ and now by God’s grace I want to live differently, doing God’s will so that men and women and boys and girls might see my changed life and trust in the Lord Jesus so that they too might have this so-great salvation! (read Psalm 40:1-3)

FACT NUMBER 6 – The believer is to be separated not isolated.

Read John 15:18 and in your own words, explain why the world hates the believer: ___________________________________________________________________
The world does not love the believer (see John 15:19) because the believer is not ____ the world and Christ has chosen the believer ______     _____ the world.

In John 17:6-19 the Lord Jesus was praying for His disciples (His apostles). Why did the world hate these men (verse 14)? ______________________________________________________ Was the Lord Jesus of the world (verse 14)? _______. True-False ________: The Lord Jesus prayed and asked His Heavenly Father to remove His disciples from the world (verse 15). What did He pray (verse 15)? ___________________________________________________________ [Note: the word "evil" should be translated "evil one." The "evil one" is Satan.]  Were the disciples of the world (verse 16)? _____ Was Christ of the world (verse 16)? _________ Did the Father send Christ into the world (verse 18)? ________ Did Christ send the disciples into the world (verse 18)? _______

Today, whom does God have to represent Him and to be His witnesses on the earth (2 Cor. 5:20; Acts 1:8)? ___________________ As we represent Christ in the world we must be very careful to keep ourselves ___________________ from the world (James 1:27) and to not be __________________ to this world (Romans 12:2) and to ___________ not the world (1 John 2:15), because the person who is a friend of the world is the _______________ of God (James 4:4).

Why did Christ eat with wicked tax collectors and sinners? __________________________________________________________________________________

Was the Lord Jesus separate from sinners (Hebrews 7:26)?  ________ Can a person be with sinners and at the same time be separate from sinners? ___________ True-False: _____________ To live a separated life it is necessary to stay away from everyone who is unsaved.
