2nd Corinthians 6:14
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; because, what society has justice with injustice? And what fellowship has light with darkness?”
DO YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT "𝙅𝙐𝙂𝙊 𝘿𝙀𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙐𝘼𝙇" is?
"𝙅𝙪𝙜𝙤 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙡" is a biblical definition to designate an unequal relationship. Where both are not compatible in purpose, values and feelings. The classic definition of when a person is not for you and, even so, you choose them, insist and pay to see the consequences.
The yoke was a load that two oxen carried in synchrony, but when one of the two carried the heaviest load there was an imbalance! And one of the two got hurt, while the other got hurt! This is the picture of most current relationships! Where you love for two and suffer alone. There is more to being unequally yoked than different beliefs or age differences. It's about the incompatibility of geniuses, about the difference in goals, and because of this, one always takes most of the load.
It's tempting to find someone who aesthetically fulfills you, or who has a pain you want to heal. But understand, when you put yourself in an unequal relationship, the end is the same: "One leaves in one piece, and the other takes time to recover". And you? Are you willing to waste time with someone who will give you up in the end? Or do you prefer to relate to The Person who will never give up on you??"
QUESTION: Can a servant of God marry an ungodly man? Or with people of other religions?
What does the Bible tell us about this?
ANSWER: Imagine that you, a servant of God, marry an ungodly man. You will want to teach your child to keep God's commandments, he will say he doesn't have to obey. You will want to teach your child to be faithful to God, to abhor carnality, to abhor worldliness, as the Bible teaches, but your husband will say that it is nonsense, that there is no need. You will want to teach your child to stay away from pagan parties (worldly concerts, carnival, discotheques, nightclubs, raves, funk dances, etc.), bad company, addictions (drug addiction, cigarette addiction, drink addiction), music mundane/profane, immoral conversations, your husband will say it's okay, that it has nothing to do with it. Because of this GOD #PROHIB mixed marriage between people. You need to choose a spouse who is on the Path of Jesus, obeying God's commandments as He taught us.. otherwise it will be impossible to relate, it will be an unequal yoke and will bring serious problems to the couple.
This is why servants of God MUST NOT marry people of the world, so as not to go through frustrating situations later, remember well when Samson spoke to his parents that he would go in search of a wife for him, his parents said if by chance there was no there among them a good woman for him, but no, he preferred a woman of the world which led Samson to trust himself and not God and that cost him his life and salvation.
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers; because, what society has justice with injustice? And what fellowship has light with darkness? And what agreement is there between the Messiah and Satan? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement does the Sanctuary of God have with idols? For ye are the Sanctuary of the Living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God and they will be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord; And touch nothing unclean, And I will receive you; And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18
In the Kingdom of God, there is discipline and order. Therefore, to remain in it, one must follow the Divine Guidelines. The Scriptures are clear regarding only two types of people in this world: those who belong to the Most High and those who do not. From this principle, the warning for those who wish to preserve their faith and avoid suffering is not to join in alliance with unbelievers. Of course, this does not prevent Christians from maintaining good relations with them, because it is this coexistence that will make it possible for people to know the Lord Jesus through our testimony. However, those with whom we will associate must be chosen according to the concepts that the Word of God determines, especially when it is a marriage union. There are not few people who have fallen into faith by ignoring this advice and then become disappointed with their bad choice.
Note: Unequal yoke is not just the union of a Christian and an impious. Unequal yoke is for you to also join a person who #claims to be a Christian but lives in the flesh or has no principles of the Word. You are unequally yoked in the same way. Walk with someone after the model of Christ.
