Come, walk through the Word.
Belonging to God requires undivided worship. Come without hurry. Paul piles up contrasts between righteousness and lawlessness, light and darkness, Christ and idols. Listen first for what God reveals before deciding what the passage asks of someone else.
2 Corinthians 6:14–18
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Stay with the movement.
Paul piles up contrasts between righteousness and lawlessness, light and darkness, Christ and idols. God dwells and walks among His people as Father. Paul shows that gospel ministry takes the shape of the crucified and risen Christ: truthful, costly, humble, and sustained by grace.
Remove one allegiance that repeatedly compromises your devotion to God. This is not a demand to manufacture strength. It is an invitation to receive God's sufficiency and let grace become visible in ordinary faithfulness.
