As ministers of the gospel, we must be very careful not to give an offence in any thing. Paul said I stand in defense of the gospel. We must approve ourselves to be true ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ, even when evil reports come out about us. They called Jesus Belial, and he said the servant is no greater than the master. We should suffer long for the cause of Christ, and not for our faults. So since we have Jesus as a pattern for our suffering, we must look unto him as the author and finisher of our most holy faith. We must live holy lives, by coming out from among the cares of this world, and by being in right fellowship with believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is true that we must warn those who are planning to get married to make sure they are equally yoked to believers only. God is our
Father, and we are his sons and daughters when we touche not the unclean thing as he has commanded. Only by the grace of God can we do all these things, so it is important that we have not received his grace in vain.
