Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14 ESV
Who or what you attach yourself to can have positive or negative consequences in your life!
Paul, under the unction of the Holy Spirit, wrote not to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. This could be any relationship, any that would require operating in Biblical, moral and/or ethical purposes.
Why?
Because there is a difference in how a Christian should live! The Believers guide is the Word of God. We always must find ourselves aligned with the Word!
The world doesn’t operate under the Word of God. And it seems more than ever, that the world is taking an adversarial approach to anything godly.
So if we link or connect ourselves with someone who isn’t walking with the Lord, we will find ourselves in the midst of problems and heartaches that we don’t need to have or that the Lord tried to spare us from, but we didn’t listen!
Examine the issues that you are having right now. Are they because you are connected in someway with someone who doesn’t follow or align with the Word of God?
If that is the case, pray that the Lord will help you. And purpose to make sure that important relationships from now on are based on the foundation of the Word!
Father, give me discernment to align with those who honor You and Your Word. Help me correct past decisions and that in any relationship, I would let my light shine.
Peace
Todd
