Unequally Yoke Elder Sergio Castillo Guatemala, April 15th Year of Abundance

2 Cor. 6:14-16 when it is mention to be unequally yoked together we think immediately of a couple relationship or marriage but this passage goes beyond that. The word unequally yoked together come from the word G2086 of G2087 and G2218; to yoke up differently, that is, (figuratively) to associate discordantly: unequally yoked together with. We can say that we can make a strong bond with an unbeliever and not necessary talking about a couple or marriage. John 17:15-16 we are in the world until the Lord allows it and that means that we have relation with people that are unbelievers, the Lord is praying for His people to be protected from evil because He knows that we are at risk. Some misunderstand this and they divert, we have to give testimony, be the light to the unbelievers. James 4:4-5 this is the balance, we are not taken out from Earth because we have many things to do but we do not have to be friends of the world. The price for us has been paid and it was high, that´s why He envies strongly. There are six different levels of relation between a believer and an unbeliever: 1. Unequally yoked

4. Concord

2. Fellowship

5. Part

3. Communion

6. Agreement

This levels we cannot have it with and unbeliever and we find them in (2 Cor 6:14-16 KJV) 1.

This is something that is being constructed, it doesn´t happen quickly. Jer15:19 we cannot be like the unbelievers that, is going backwards. A lot of times we do not realize when this happens.

Fellowship (2 Cor. 6:14) righteousness with unrighteousness: G3352 from G3348; participation, that is, intercourse: - fellowship. It is talking about interact with unbelievers but not to be like them. 1 Cor. 10:21 when we didn´t know the Lord we were like Mephibosheth but the King called us to His table.
