This document discusses the dangers of ungodly fellowship. It argues that fellowship with ungodly people can cause believers to lose their identity, integrity, influence, and inheritance. The document defines fellowship as having something in common and urges believers to be of one mind and purpose with God, not with sinful people. It warns that compromise with sinners breaks God's law, harms one's work for God, and allows Satan to win. The conclusion exhorts readers to be careful who they associate with and choose fellowship with either God or Satan.

1. The
Of Ungodly Fellowship!

4. Rom. 12:21

5. The Danger of Ungodly
Fellowship!
Eph 5:11 And have no
fellowship with the
unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather
expose them.

6. Fellowship = to have in common; to
share (Oxford)
▪ The biblical concept = to be of one mind
and one purpose!
▸1Cor 1:9-10 God is faithful, by whom you
were called into the fellowship of His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I plead with you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and
that there be no divisions among you, but that
you be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.

7. I. We Lose Our Identity!
▪ When we have fellowship with the
ungodly we are no longer the people
God would have us to be!
▪ Called to be! Salt and Light!
▸Salt = works both as a preservative
& as an influence/flavoring! (Mt. 5:13)
▸Light = repeals the darkness, helps
bring clarity! (Mt. 5:14-16)

8. Seeking the approval of men or
of God?
▪ 2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present
yourself approved to God, a worker who
does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
▪ Gal. 1:10 For do I now persuade men,
or God? Or do I seek to please men?
For if I still pleased men, I would not be
a bondservant of Christ.

9. II.We Lose Our Integrity!
▪ God’s people have always been faced
with the danger of “compromise!”
▪ It is not possible to fellowship sinners
without compromising the truth!
▪ Compromise brings about three things!
▸God’s law is broken!
▸The work suffers!
▸Satan wins!

10. We are either for Christ or
against Him!
▪ Lk. 11:23 “He who is not with Me is
against Me, and he who does not gather
with Me scatters.”
▪ Jas 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses!
Do you not know that friendship with the
world is enmity with God? Whoever
therefore wants to be a friend of the world
makes himself an enemy of God.

11. III. We Lose Our Influence!
▪ There must be a clear distinction between
us (Christians) and them (the ungodly!)
▸ 2 Cor. 6:17 Therefore "Come out from
among them And be separate, says the
Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I
will receive you."
▪ It is not possible to be in fellowship with
the world and also separate from them at
the same time! We must choose!

12. In the world, not of the world!
▪ 2 Cor 6:14-18 Do not be unequally yoked together
with unbelievers. For what fellowship has
righteousness with lawlessness? And what
communion has light with darkness? And what accord
has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer
with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the
temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of
the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them
And walk among them. I will be their God, And they
shall be My people." Therefore "Come out from
among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not
touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be
a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and
daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

13. IV. We Lose Our Inheritance!
▪ Last but certainly not least, we lose our
inheritance!!!
▪ The greatest inheritance one can ever receive
this that which awaits us in heaven!
▸1 Pet. 1:4 to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away,
reserved in heaven for you.
▸Mt 6:20 "but lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and
steal.

14. Understanding that we can
lose our inheritance!
▪ 2 Jn. 1:9-11 Whoever transgresses and
does not abide in the doctrine of Christ
does not have God. He who abides in the
doctrine of Christ has both the Father and
the Son. If anyone comes to you and does
not bring this doctrine, do not receive him
into your house nor greet him; for he who
greets him shares in his evil deeds.

15. Conclusion:
▪ We need to be careful who we become “one
mind & one mouth” with!
▸Pr 22:24-25 Make no friendship with an
angry man, And with a furious man do not go,
Lest you learn his ways And set a snare for
your soul.
▪ When we fellowship sinners we lose our,
identity, integrity, influence & inheritance!
▪ Our you in fellowship with the Son or with
Satan? If you are not yet a child of God, then
today is the day!
