Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Relationships are a powerful influence in a life.
When a relationship is established you have been given access to the inner
sanctums of a person’s heart to influence them. Because
relationship is built on trust and trust opens the door of a person’s soul. They
gain opportunity to steer your life in a particular direction. This is why Paul
said that we should “not be unequally
yoked together with unbelievers.” When a believer joins together with an
unbeliever in an intimate relationship, they have given that person power to
influence them. It’s one thing to have a work friend and/or acquaintances but
these are relationships that we do not give access to our innermost being. There
is a line drawn where a relationship crosses over into intimacy and now becomes
a powerful force in our lives.
Relationships come into being because of sharing
common interests. The only way an on fire Christian and a lukewarm Christian
can have intimacy is if one compromises. They must meet on common ground. It has
been said and it is true that you can tell what a person is by who their
friends are.
Ask yourself this question today: “who am I
giving access to my heart to influence me?” Be careful of who you are intimate
with because they have more power in your life than what you think.
