"Do not team up with those who are unbeliever's. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? HOW CAN LIGHT LIVE WITH DARKNESS?"
There can be no harmony between Jesus Christ and the Devil! How can there be harmony between believer's and unbeliever's. To be unequally yoked with someone who is wicked and prefers darkness may be the recipe for a losing team. Think about what can occur in a marriage of this type. When two oxen are pulling in different directions they do not make for a good team! The results are predictable and never good. Our One Truth Today is to point out what the Lord is advising us. If there are major differences and inconsistencies in beliefs and actions a team will not join together. Right living and right standing with God requires an entirely different set of principals that will not team up with unbeliever's. HOW CAN LIGHT LIVE WITH DARKNESS?
Believer's seek light and truth, while the wicked prefer darkness wickedness. If someone is trying to avoid the light how can that be a consistent relationship Remember that the Lord has told us that the Holy Spirit would be with us and dwell with us in our hearts. How can light and darkness dwell together? As His children we welcome the light and truth into our hearts .
Believer's will want to separate from the darkness and wickedness of sinners. Who is on your team? We are in the world and can never be apart from sinners, but we do have choices about who we team up with and surround ourselves with. HOW CAN LIGHT LIVE WITH DARKNESS?
In this life we are always going to be a part of some team or another. The family is a team. Your school is laden with teams. Where you work and are employed are made up of teams. The friends that you choose and surround yourself with are a team. Your political party is a team.
Your church is a team. It makes perfect sense that as a believer you will be attracted to those who are like you and share your values. If not then maybe you need a new school or a new job or a new set of friends. Birds of a feather flock together for a reason. Like minded people will lead to harmony and righteousness can not be a partner with wickedness. Light can not co exist with darkness. They are mutually exclusive. Your choices will lead to your consequences and you alone are in control of those choices. HOW CAN LIGHT LIVE WITH DARKNESS?
