Often, we should look at our motives and practices to decide if they align to the word of God concerning us. Often, we allow the standards of the world to become intertwined into our beliefs and practices making them no longer fit for proper use in the exercising of Holiness. Harmony with the world is hatred with God. Please remember the Laws of God are the standards that all of creation exist and operate in according to his perfect will. The laws of the world and the world system operate on its platform which are not consistent to the laws of God. The standards established by the Lord have Spiritual as well as Physical, Mental and Emotional benefits to prosper you and establish you in the beloved in this life and the life to come. The guidelines set up by the god of this world and world systems also have Spiritual as well as Physical, Mental and Emotional gains which at best will prosper you for a period and for some a lifetime without verifying you are in Christ the beloved in this life and the life to come.
