Jesus hung around sinners, so my best friend is nonbeliever. Oh boy have I heard this irrational statement to justify hanging out with someone who not only dislike your God or thinks your plain nuts for believe that Jesus is God. Jesus ate with sinner for the sole purpose to Minster to them. Throughout the bible we see were Jesus surround himself with his disciples or went away alone to spend time in prayer. God never contradicts his word, for we are warned throughout the bible to choose are friend wisely for the wicked will lead us astray. This does not mean that we treat nonchristians unkind, rude, or even walk around prideful, but we guard our hearts against anything that contradicts the word of God. How else will we win those who do not Know Jesus as Lord if we treat them unkind ,but we should only make it to the point of ministering to nonbelievers through Kindness .
Let’s take a look at a few scriptures.
Proverbs 12:26
The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
The bible warns here that you can not hang around those who are sinners and not be effected. A yoke was placed onto two Ox as they walked together pulling the load that was hitched onto them to pull. As the bible describes this yoke around the oxes`s neck, picture yourself tied together to unbelievers . You both are attached together by an instrument bound to your neck, but instead of going in one direction you both are going in opposite direction. No unity can be formed when you are both serving two different Gods! One person will eventual over power the other and drag that person along.
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Here is another warning, the bible uses the word adulterers, for God considers his people t o be his bride! And he is the groom! The heart of his bride (Christians) going after another God.
Think about who your friends are, I always remember this saying show me your friends and I can tell you who you are!
God bless Rashida
