We're never to live the life of the world and be a Christian

Communion

May I bring that a point: when we are judged by the Word, which is Christ, we're chastened. If we're doing wrong, we're not living up to this Word, we're chastened of the Lord. And when the Lord chastens us, that means corrects us, that we should not be condemned with the world.
We are not of the world. We are different from the world, live a different life, a separated life. We're never to live the life of the world and be a Christian. We're to live a—a outstanding life, a different life. Not I don't mean in such social ranks, but I mean we're to live a life of genuine holiness that the fruits of the Spirit might be seen in us: of meekness, and gentleness, and patience, longsuffering, faith: the fruit of the Spirit.

Daily Bread Hebrews 12:6
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
