Romans 12:1

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies (dedicating all of yourselves, set apart) as a living sacrifice, holy and well pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

We must practice distancing ourselves from the world to set ourselves apart and walk holy before God. The world is selfish, carnal, and opposite of God. God has no satisfaction in the world. We worship God and his leadership when we follow God and keep ourselves holy.
