"Certain" people are different.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.
"Certain" people are sure of one thing: GOD is GOD and Him only do we serve. The meaning of "certain", in this context, is to be sure, confident, settled and decided. When a person is sure, confident, settled and decided that GOD is GOD and Him only do we serve, that person is different. That person is a new creation, born again and the old things are washed away in the Blood of the Lamb of GOD. The new creation is born of the Spirit of GOD and is created in the image of GOD.
Certain people do not worship any person or other god, even if they are pressed to do so. The fear of death does not disturb they resolve, because they know that the LORD GOD has saved them, redeemed them and will raise them from the dead. "Certain" people know this because they know the GOD who is GOD, they serve Him only and bow down to no other god. In Revelation 19:10 we find these words: "Worship GOD; for the testimony of JESUS is the spirit of prophecy". There is no room in "certain" people for the worship of any other at all. Psalm 62: 1,2 says: For GOD alone my soul in silence waits; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
