You know, separation today, the emphasis has been on “from”—we’re separated from something. I don’t do this; I don’t do that. Separation is not “from,” it’s “unto.” We’re to go to Jesus. And the Hebrews are told here that we’re “to go without the camp bearing His reproach.” These people hated to leave the temple and religion, and there are a lot of Christians today that are so wrapped up in churchianity and think because they’re members of a church they’re saved. And a great many folk today need to get away from ritual, need to get away from religion, and come to Christ, friends. Come to Him. And that’s real separation. And by the way, it’s real salvation.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
