OUTLINES

In our Fire Scripture, Paul urges believers not to have any relationship with unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14). Any relationship you have with unbelievers may weaken your Christian commitment, integrity and standard with God, and this may also lead to backsliding. You are to avoid relationships that can force you to compromise your faith in God. God wants the totality of your life. He does not want to share you with any idol.

That is the reason why He said you should come out of the world and be separated. When you shun worldliness, God will be your Father as He has promised in 2 Cor. 6:16-18. You cannot be in the world and expect the blessings of God. There are many benefits to enjoy when you come out of the world and come to God: First, you will be accepted into the family of God. The father of the prodigal son accepted him back when he repented and came back to him (Luke 15:22; John 1:12).

Secondly, coming back to God will give you assurance of eternal life with Christ (Rom 6:23). Life without God is eternal death. Life with Christ is a new life that begins on earth and continues forever with God. What is your choice? Come back to God so that you can enjoy eternal life with Him. Thirdly, God will give you rest from all your struggles, labour and suffering.

Consider the following question: How is your relationship with God? Have you gone away from Him? God created you to have fellowship with Him but if you have walked away from Him, you are missing out on the main reason you were created. It is time to come back to God. The steps are very simple: repent of your sins, have godly sorrow for your sins and put away everything that takes the place of God in your life. Whatsoever you place first above God is an idol.

Finally, commit yourself to serving the true and only God Almighty. God bless you, in the name of Jesus.
