Why Chosen Ones Can't Be Around Lot Of Ungodly People And Worldly People Series

As believers, we are called to be separate from the world and its ways. While we are in the world, we are not of the world (John 17:14-16). Here are few reasons why chosen ones can't be around a lot of ungodly people and worldly people, along with biblical verses to support each point:

1. Corruption of Good Morals: Ungodly people can corrupt good morals and lead chosen ones astray (1 Corinthians 15:33). Being around them too much can influence our thoughts and actions.

2. Influence of Wrong Teachings: Worldly people often spread wrong teachings and philosophies that can lead chosen ones away from the truth (1 Timothy 4:1-3). Exposure to these teachings can confuse and mislead.

3. Distraction from God's Presence: Spending too much time with ungodly people can distract chosen ones from God's presence and lead to a lack of spiritual focus (Matthew 14:22-23).

4. Fear and Anxiety: Being around ungodly people can cause fear and anxiety, which can undermine faith and trust in God (Psalm 23:4).

5. Compromise and Sin: Ungodly people may pressure chosen ones to compromise their values and sin (Romans 12:2). Giving in to this pressure can lead to spiritual damage.

6. Loss of Spiritual Identity: Chosen ones may lose their spiritual identity and sense of purpose by being overly influenced by worldly people (1 Peter 2:9).

7. Spiritual Pollution: Ungodly people can bring spiritual pollution into our lives, which can affect our thoughts, emotions, and actions (2 Corinthians 10:5).

8. Lack of Spiritual Support: Ungodly people may not provide the spiritual support and encouragement that chosen ones need to grow in their faith (Hebrews 10:24-25).

9. Influence of Wrong Priorities: Worldly people often prioritize material possessions, wealth, and status, which can lead chosen ones astray (Matthew 6:24).

10. Separation from God's Blessing: Chosen ones may experience separation from God's blessing and favor if they become too entangled with ungodly people (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).

11. Temptation to Rebel: Ungodly people may tempt chosen ones to rebel against God's commands and principles, leading to spiritual rebellion (Psalm 119:176).

By being mindful of these potential pitfalls, chosen ones can maintain their spiritual integrity and walk in obedience to God's commands.
