COME OUT

BE YE SEPARATE part one

 

This teaching is not popular.

It is a word that many born again Christians rebel against.

God has set down guidelines for “His” people, for “His” saints; and God wants every believer to obey “His” commands, ref. Hebrews 5:9.

Most Christians seem to have the misguided impression that they can partake of Gods table and the table of demons as well. They think that they can live for God part of the time and live as they wish the rest of the time. The scriptures are full of people who chose to live this type of life, and they perished to a place in hell.

2 Corinthians 6: 14,15-17 “Be ye (that is you) not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?….What part hath he that believeth with an infidel (an unbeliever)? Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye (that is you )separate, saith the Lord.”

If you have repented, then you have made a commitment to follow and obey Gods Word.

Lets look at that Word again.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. You as a Christian are not to be tied together with an unbeliever. When you came to the cross, you surrendered to Jesus, to do “His” will. You are to follow what “He” wants you to do.

The verse continues. “For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?”

Or in other words, “What fellowship is there between the works of God and the works of Satan? What fellowship is there between a person who has surrendered to Jesus, and a person who is following Satan?” The answer should be obvious, there is none.

Once again; “What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (That is an unbeliever.) God classifies an unbeliever as an infidel. An unbeliever, up to this point, has chosen not to receive the forgiveness and the love offered by God through Jesus Christ. An unbeliever has willingly chosen to take sides with those who are opposed to the only begotten Son of God.

In Gods eyes there are two types of people.

There are those who follow Jesus and those who do not. The Bible tells us, if you are not for God, then you are against God.

Luke 11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scatters.

Therefore if you have chosen to follow Jesus, then you are not to be in fellowship with those who are against Jesus. Do not try to make it less than the Bible states. Do not make the excuse that they are not against Jesus, when the Bible has shown us that if a person is not for God (if he is not saved) then he is against God. The only way that a person can be for God is through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of his life.

If a person rejects Jesus, then they are against God.

A born again believer has nothing in common with an unbeliever.

This is very clear and comes as a command in 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.”

This is God speaking directly to you and me. If you reject Gods Word, you reject God.

Gods word tell us not to have fellowship with unbelievers. We are not to become entangled with unbelievers; but we are to separate from all unbelievers.

Come out from among them.

If an adult or their child is dating an unsaved person, they should stop it immediately.

If any one chooses the unsaved as his primary friendships, they should stop immediately.

The scripture clearly states, in 1 Corinthians 5:13 “Put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”

Hard to hear, harder still to live in, yet it is the truth of the word of God.

Whenever we have heard the truth and understand, then we are with out excuse as to how we live from that point on.
