Do
not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness
and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
Or
what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an
unbeliever?
2
Corinthians 6:14-15
We
are by virtue of residing on earth, forced to have contact with unbelievers. They are everywhere we go – at work, at the
grocery store, next door and sitting next to us at church.
The
Apostle Paul does not say that we should not minister to unbelievers, but that
we should not develop close personal or business relationships with them
because their standards of right and wrong are not necessarily God’s
standards. Paul recognized that even
though we are strong in Christ, that our faith and our sense of what is right
in God’s sight can be polluted by unbelievers.
The
best defense of our Christianity is a good offense against the erosion of our
faith by our peers. Choose your friends
wisely.
