Be Set Apart

What does it mean to be “set apart”? To be set apart is to obey the Word of YAH. When we obey His Commandments, including His Set-Apart 7th day Sabbath, which is the 4th Commandment, we are set apart. When we obey our Father's Torah, we show our love for Him and it sets us apart.

Let’s begin in Hebrews 12:14 [Apostolic writings – NT]:

“Pursue peace with all, and pursue apartness without which no one shall see the Master.”

This verse clearly tells us that without set-apartness, we will not see the Master.  Do you want to see the Master? We must be set apart from the rest of the world; we are in the world but we are not of the world for this is not our home and it is only temporary.

Isaiah 45:5 “I am יהוה, and there is none else – there is no Elohim besides Me.”

YAH is Set Apart and there is none else like Him. He is a holy Elohim and we are called to be holy as He is holy.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek יהוה while He is to be found; call on Him while He is near.”

Isaiah 55:7 “Let the wrong forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to יהוה, who has compassion on him, and to our Elohim, for He pardons much.”

Scriptures say we are to forsake our way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; otherwise, we will run contrary to Almighty YAH. This means we are to forsake religious ways; we are to forsake doctrines of men and TESHUVAH – return to the Father in obedience. He is a loving and merciful Father and pardons much.

Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares יהוה.”

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

We need to lean not on our own understanding and our own thoughts but lean on His by putting our trust in Him and walk in His ways.

Are we not called to be a peculiar, set-apart, and chosen people? Remember, Messiah is not returning for a foreign bride but for one that is spotless and set-apart. HalleluYAH!
