Cultivating a “Maranatha” Mindset is crucial to living by faith! (Part Two)

A maranatha mindset is needed, for it gives a way of looking at or thinking about why holiness and godliness is practical! Without this mindset then all we do is focus on this present world where godliness and holiness seems out of place because they’re not celebrated! In other words, the core values, desires, and behaviors of human society ("the world") are fundamentally opposed to holiness and character of God. Because holiness requires being "set apart" from the sinful patterns of the world, those who pursue it often stand out as distinct, making them unpopular or misunderstood by a culture that prioritizes pleasure, selfishness, and moral compromise.
