Don't be attached to unbelievers!

This is a very important Word for us from God:



2 Corinthians 6:14-16



14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.



Now let me be clear here, we have a responsibility to share Jesus with all but we are not to be hanging out with those who practice sin. Lets catch a few things God says to us here:



1. Don't be attached (yoked) with an unbeliever....why? They may bring us to sin if we are not very careful!



2. We are righteous in Christ they are not, we have fellowship with Jesus they do not.



3. Jesus has nothing to do with the sin of the devil (Belial). We are to do the same.



4. What do we have in common with in unbeliever? Nothing because we are a new creation. We can relate to where they are because we were before Jesus so help they become a believer!



5. We are the temple of the God (Holy Spirit lives in us), and we need to avoid the idol lifestyle of unbelievers.



6. God is with us, we are His children, unbelievers are not.



God makes it very plain and simple here....be attached to other believers (the church). So let each of us look at our lives and see if we are obeying God! Remember love all and share Jesus but hang with brothers and sisters in Christ!
