\"bible<\/p>\n

God required believers to stay clear of ungodly association that can damage our relationship with him.<\/p>\n

\nThe scripture emphasized,<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDo not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? <\/em><\/p>\n

\nOr what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? <\/em><\/p>\n

\nFor you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: \u201cI will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\nTherefore \u201cCome out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. <\/em><\/p>\n

\nDo not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.\u201d \u201cI will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty\u201d (2 Corinthians 6:14-18 NKJV).<\/em><\/p>\n

Lesson on Relationship Keeping<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God’s children must keep godly relationship. We are not allowed to keep relationship that may negatively influence us and cause us to sin against God.<\/p>\n

\nWe are only allowed to keep relationship that can improve our standing with God.<\/p>\n

\nAlso, whatever we consider as relationship must add virtues to our lives.<\/p>\n

\nSince we Christians are heavenly bound people, we cannot only afford to interact with people who do not celebrate bible principles.<\/p>\n

\nWe must share godly values with our friends; our view of God and his principles must be the same!<\/p>\n

\nWe Christians must always remember that God’s treasured gift of salvation is too valuable to trade for any temporal earthly friendship.<\/p>\n

\nJehovah will honor and bless us if we jealously protect his principles.<\/p>\n

\nHelp me to comply with your goodly standard that will keep me qualified for your blessings.<\/p>\n

\nFor in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.<\/p>\nTags: Christian principle<\/a>, disciplined attitude<\/a>, Godly relationship<\/a>, lesson from 2 Corinthians<\/a>
