Quotes about Ostracism

If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.

Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.

Throughout evolution, ostracism was death indeed.

We say no to sin because we are holy in Christ. We endure the criticism of those who hate us because God loves us in Christ. We endure ostracism from others because God welcomes us in Christ. We are not what we do. We do what we are. Our identity determines our activity. This was true for Jesus, and it's true for those who are in Christ. Our identity as new creations in Christ is the key to our victory like Christ.
