Don’t be tied up as equal partners with people who don’t believe. What does righteousness share with that which is outside the Law? What relationship does light have with darkness? What harmony does Christ have with Satan? What does a believer have in common with someone who doesn’t believe? What agreement can there be between God’s temple and idols? Because we are the temple of the living God. Just as God said, I live with them, and I will move among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, come out from among them and be separated, says the Lord. Don’t touch what is unclean. Then I will welcome you. I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. My dear friends, since we have these promises, let’s cleanse ourselves from anything that contaminates our body or spirit so that we make our holiness complete in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1, CEB)
We should not be equal partners with people who don’t believe but that doesn’t mean we do not still live with them and interact with them.
We should separate ourselves from things that keep us form God and live our lives as an example for all to see God’s love in the world.
Do not be tied up to evil, but be tied to love.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
