Click here to view listing below for Col 3:9

GOD divided the light from the darkness; the waters from the waters, and the day from the night (Genesis 1:4, 7, 14, 18). As in the beginning, so is it now with the Christian and the world. We have several illustrations of this in the Books of Moses. We shall take seven, and give the corresponding truths from the New Testament.

  1. Separation. Division between light and darkness. “What communion hath light with darkness” (2 Cor. 6:14).
  2. Manifestation. “I will put a division between My people and thy people” (Ex. 8:23). “In this” (sinning and not sinning, see 1 John 3:8-9) “the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:10).
  3. Conversation. “Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, &c.” (Lev. 20:25). “As He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of living” (1 Peter 1:13-16, R.V.).
  4. Dedication. “All the days of his separation he is holy unto the Lord” (Num. 6:8). “Be ye separate” (2 Cor. 6:17).
  5. Isolation. “The people shall dwell alone” (Num. 23:9). “Be not conformed to this world” (Rom. 12:2).
  6. Sanctification. “Thou shalt not plow with an ox and ass together” (Deut. 22:10). “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Cor. 6:14).
  7. Consecration. “Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts” (Deut. 22:11). “Put off the old man with his deeds” (Col. 3:9). “Put ye on the Lord Jesus” (Rom. 13:14).
