Corinthians 6:14
"Do
not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness
with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
ESV
To
be harnessed together with those whose beliefs and life practices are in
opposition to our own Christian beliefs and
spiritual practices is sure disaster. The best
that can be expected from this kind of committed relationship is antagonism, dissension, confusion, compromise, and
division. God's Word tells us not to enter in
to a committed partnership with an unbeliever.
There is valid reasoning for this warning!
Heavenly Father,
how we stand in need of Your forgiveness for entering into relationships of
various kinds with unbelievers. We understand that we will live next door, work
alongside in our jobs, and encounter unbelievers every day. But we know that it
is against Your Word to enter into a close partnership with them. Help us to
watch and stand firm to keep our close associations Godly. For those who live
with unbelievers, we pray for Your grace and mercy to be upon them so that they
might live Godly before the unbelieving ones and draw them to You. We pray in
Jesus' name, Amen.
