I dedicate this short post to all the single Christians out there like me that sometimes find it very challenging to walk according to the Word in this area and also as a reminder that great blessings and a much deeper relationship with God comes from obedience ;-) What do you think?
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers, Don't become partners with those who reject God, Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God's holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives. For we are the temple of the living God. God himself put it this way:
“I will live in them
and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, leave the corruption and compromise;
leave it for good,"
and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD.
Don’t touch their filthy things, "Don't link up with those who will pollute you.
I want you all for myself,
and I will welcome you.
And I will be your Father,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the LORD Almighty.” (New Living Translation, The Message & GOD’S WORD Translation)
I know that it’s a popular teaching that “Everyone is a child of God” but If A person hasn’t accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior then they are by default a child of the Devil (1 John 3).
Peace,
