Scripture: Romans 12:1-2
False Narrative: "Christians are no different."
True Narrative: "Christians are not always different, but they ought to be, and often are. They are "peculiar".
Scripture: I Peter 2:9 and I John 4:7-12
As God is, so should His people be.
God loved a people who did not love or serve Him. That is the kind of love we ought to give one another.
When we love, God lives in us, and His love completes us. So our "peculiar" God transforms us into "peculiar people", people who love others, even if they don't love us in return.
