2 Corinthians 6:15; What Part Hath He That Believeth With An Infidel?

2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

An infidel is an unbeliever, a non-Christian, a pagan. The word “part” means “a part of a whole or portion”, more specifically, it describes “part of a whole that has been chosen or divided up share, portion.” In other words, the believer has no part in the lifestyle, practice, belief, allegiance of the unbeliever. The two simply cannot go together. They are totally no common ground of faith and practice.

Swindoll observed well, ‘Underscore the words partnership, fellowship, harmony, common, and agreement. Together these words describe close, intimate, interdependent, shared, and single-minded relationships that take time to develop and are difficult to end. Believers and unbelievers should never enter into these kinds of relationships. Never. Why not? Because certain things are essentially distinct and fundamentally incompatible. The saved cannot have spiritually intimate relationships with the lost. They should not form relationships with unbelievers that would either lead to a compromise of Christian standards or jeopardize the consistency of their Christian witness.”¹

To attempt it is treason against the Lord. [MacDonald]

May the Lord find us faithful. Amen.
