14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
KJV
Here is Christian duty and a very misunderstood doctrine, Biblical separation. In this day of unity with all, the Bible still calls for the believer in Christ to come out and be separate. But what is true Biblical separation and how should it apply to the believer in Christ today? First we see that it sees the difference between the saved and the lost of this world. (2 Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?) We are not all the same, we are not all going to the same place, we are not all the universal children of God as the liberal likes to claim, there is a difference between the saved and the lost. Until one sees this, until one knows this, there will never be a separation from the world. All the false religions of the world, and that includes any belief that does not stand on the blood of Jesus Christ alone for salvation and forgiveness of sin are not of God, they are of Satan. (2 Cor 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?) The churches in America that mix works and grace, the ones that preach the social gospel, the ones that preach the feel good gospel, are all of Satan because they are leading the lost into darkness, they are taking people to hell. There needs to be a separation from those beliefs. Biblical separation begins with marking the difference between saved and lost. More tomorrow.
