UNEQUALLY YOKED


 
2 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.
