If we are too much like the world, we are useless. Christians should not blend in with everyone else. Jesus tells us, as He told His disciples, that we must be different if we want to make a difference. We dare not allow the world to dilute our effectiveness. If we do, we are of no value to Him." (Life Application Bible Commentary) Jesus did not call the Church to be conciliatory to society. In other words, He did not call them to be "sugar" to the world. He called them to be "salt" and "light." It behooves every Christian to be attentive to the high and holy calling to which they are called.
