We as Christian are not under the Mosaic law; however, that by no means states we have no standards. Having been freed from the Mosaic law and the law of sin we are slaves to righteousness, which is in direct opposition to lawlessness. Our righteousness is in Christ, not the Mosaic law, therefore we live out this righteousness by living out who we are in Christ out from faith.
We live in the world and are not called to be separated from it (John 17:15 I do not ask in order that you should take them out from the world, but in order that you should keep them out from the malignantly evil one), but in living in it we are to be luminaries to the corruption around us ( in order that you become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as luminaires in the world), not abusing it (And those who use this world as not misusing, for the mask of this world is passing away – 1 Corinthians 7:31), but using it in a proper way to the show forth a proper opinion of who God is to those around us.
Experiencing the Christian life is something that all of us need to do by living out what God says. This takes some training because the salvation we have is not something we sit and wait for in the future, it can, and should be, used right now in our lives. We are the children of God, we have all things pertaining to life and godliness, we are those who are in Christ. Our lives need to show this.
Spiritual means we are emanating the things of the Spirit; that is, we are seeking to fulfill His desires in our lives rather than the desires of our flesh. We are focused on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God and living a life that is out from faith. Along with this we will be properly defending ourselves against our enemies and living out the righteousness that we have in Christ. This is the proper state for a Christian to be in.
Those loving His appearance will live a life that guards His commandments, which is to love other saints (John 13:34). Living a life of love towards other saints will result in a life that rejects the shameful things, denies ungodliness, rejects the desires of the world, focus on the way things really are, has a conduct showing we are taking God at His word and living a life that is godly and righteous by manifesting who we are in Christ.
