Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?
-2 Corinthians 6:14-15
DISCORD IN UNEQUALLY YOKED RELATIONS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you vowed to believe in Jesus Christ
You must look up to his power and might
A believer guards his heart and remains pure
He is not jealous, worldly, fearful or insecure.
Don’t team up with those who live in darkness
Be with those who embrace Christ’s righteousness
Unequally yoked relations generate discord
Harmony results from two people who loves the Lord.
Are you a believer who is married to an unbeliever? Are you planning to marry someone who is an unbeliever? These questions are worth reflecting on and taken seriously if you are a Christian. When you plan to tie the knot to someone who is coming from a very different belief system, think a hundred times first before you do. The bible cautions us not to team up with unbelievers because there can never be harmony. Discord will always result in unequally yoked relationship. Paul explains this to the Corinthians when he presented the questions such as: How can righteousness partner with evil? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil?
PRAYER
Lord, guide us to choose who you want for us and not who we want.
REFLECTION
Why does the bible discourage unequally yoked relationship or marriage?
