Having the Devil for a Father-in-Law

by David J. Stewart | July 2012

2nd Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

       The Bible strictly forbids unequal yokes between Christians and unbelievers. This one violation of the Scriptures has ruined so many Christian testimonies and corrupted the world's churches.

Since the beginning of humanity, one of Satan's most effective tactics for destroying people's lives has been the unequal yoking of God's children with heathen unbelievers. If you are a born-again Christian and you marry an unsaved person, then you will literally have the Devil for a father-in-law. Think about that!

It is always wrong for a Christian to marry a non-Christian. The Bible commands believers in 2nd Corinthians 6:14 not to yolk together with unbelievers. It is a sinful unequal yolk that will lead to disaster. Many men marry a woman simply because she is physically beautiful, but beauty is truly only skin deep. Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener!

Likewise, many women will marry a man who is older merely for security, or a younger man who is handsome, with no concern for whether or not he is a born-again Christian who loves Jesus Christ. If you want to find the right person to marry, look for someone who loves Jesus Christ more than you, because then they'll love you and never divorce you.

We are living in the Last Days, in very selfish times foretold in 2nd Timothy 3:1-7, when people would love only themselves and hurt others without hesitation. The Bible foretold of these malicious people who masquerade as Christians, but are only religious fakes. Most people who profess to be “Christian” these days are deceived by the Devil, following some false prophet, or belonging to some false religion, having a form of godliness; but they have never been born anew by the saving power of the gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). Don't marry the Devil. John 8:44, “Ye are of your father the Devil.” Every unsaved person is the child of the Devil. Every born-again believer is the child of God. Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
 

Biblical Separation from the Unsaved World

2nd Peter 2:15, “Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” The love of money has tempted so many people to sell-out to the Devil's cause. So many young people have sold their souls, especially young women who strip down almost naked for money in Hollywood, beauty pageants, Music Television Videos (MTV), television Commercials, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, clothing catalogs, and countless other lewd forms of wickedness.

God is a holy God, i.e., moral perfection. The Bible commands women to cloth in MODEST apparel (1st Timothy 2:9). Women today have become lewd, rude and crude in America. I speak this to our shame as a nation. The same women who scoff and ridicule preachers who preach that women ought not wear tight clothing nor pants are the same women who murder their own children by abortion.

The United States has become an idolatrous Rock 'N' Roll culture of death, selfishness, dishonoring of parents, suicide, substance abuse, fornication, feminism, homosexuality, covetousness, hypocrisy, hatred, pornography, nudity, cursing in God's name, blaspheming the name of Jesus Christ, abortion and every sin imaginable. It all began when young people started YOKING together with their favorite unsaved Rock 'N' Roll idols in the 1950's and 1960's. Sexual immorality began rampant in the 1960's, which led to millions of unwanted pregnancies and the tragic passing of Roe vs. Wade in 1973, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a child in the mother's womb is not a human life. Can you imagine?

Millions of young people have sold-their-souls to the Devil for a career opportunity, to make a buck and secure a wealthy retirement. So many young women have sold their virtue to some unsaved man, thinking that sex would lure him into a marriage. That's the Devil's way of doing things. God's way is a marriage commitment. Marriage is not just the old-fashioned way, it is the right way. But if you marry an unsaved person, you will have the Devil for a father-in-law. Please take God's advice and marry someone who is a Christian and loves the Lord Jesus Christ!

And remember, the only true gay marriage is between one man and one woman.
