09.14.2016 – New Testament: 2Co 6.14–16a

To read the Bible in a year, read Second Corinthians 6 on September 14, In the year of our Lord 2016

By Don Ruhl

We live in this world among people who do not hold to our worldview, and who may even oppose our worldview. Therefore, Paul warned,

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? (2 Corinthians 6.14–16a). 

If someone will pull us down by aligning ourselves with him, what use does such an alliance serve? What we have with Christ supersedes everything and everyone else.

Questions:

• Have you made unholy alliances in the past?
• How did they turn out?
