Be Not Partakers

"Be not ye therefore partakers with them."  Ephesians 5:7.  Our walk in Christ avoids all sinful activities.  The writer of this verse has described sins that characterized his time, and our time as well.  Those who walk in Christ are not to partake with those who engage in these sins.  We are to avoid them.  Those who walk in Christ are to separate themselves from the sinful of the land. Evil has a powerful influence, and we must flee from that which might entangle us.  The followers of Christ are to exert an influence of good and right.  We seek to alter the lifestyle of the sinful.  We shun any engagement of sin.  If we partake, our life will be tainted.  Our walk with Christ will be harmed.  We no longer drink from the fountain of evil, but perfect that life that is light rather than darkness.  The words of the evil must not entice us.  We must not share in their folly.  We have removed ourselves from the wrath of God.  Let us remain in that safe haven.
