Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believerhave in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them and walk among them,and I will be their God,and they will be my people.”
17 Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate,says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.
18 And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Can we press the refresh button in our lives? Yes we can. Does this mean we need to divorce or not have a relationship with others because we have made mistakes? Mistakes and sin is from the sin nature. This tells us, we aren’t perfect. Taking this in consideration where do we need to start our refresh button to have a new start?
First we need not blame ourselves but recognize it as sin in our lives. We have an advocate who is Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sin, He is faithful to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9. Forgiveness starts with us having a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. It is then we can have fellowship with God and others. We have been hurt, upset or our testimony nearly destroyed. Young people have broken relationships. Married people have their difficulties and hurts. Friends and relationships are torn by accusations. We need to be reminded that Satan is seeking those he can destroy, especially in relationships.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8.
We need not blame ourselves. for what others have done to us. In the real world a rape victim blames themselves. It is not until they realize they arn’t to blame that they can start to be healed and move on with their lives. Real forgiveness comes from God and He alone through His grace can interrupt the destruction Satan wants to do to our lives and relationships.
What does these verses tell us?
1. Let Jesus walk among you and let His Holy Spirit guide you,
2. Stay away from those that would hurt us until a spiritual fruity change happens and is apparent in our lives. 3.God promises to be a father to us as you let Him lead your life.
Our love will happen for those people who hurt us will be with us as we walk with Him. But the refresh button Happens with us.
