1 Corinthians 15:33, NASB: "Do not be deceived: 'Bad company corrupts good morals.'"
Reading this in its context for a Bible Study the other night it turns out. In its proper context the bad company being spoken of here is anyone who is focused on this life. Anyone who is caught up in this world system and busy with the things of this world, pursuing their best life now is bad company. Anyone seeking answers and fulfillment in this life is bad company.
We are a people of the resurrection. When we went under the waters of baptism we literally died and what came out of those waters is new life. This new life is no longer under the powers and principalities of the air, this world system. This new life is His life, eternal and imperishable.
This new life has as its focus the kingdom to come, the return of the conquering King. We love not our lives unto death because we are already dead to everything in this life.
We are totally free of the powers of the air and this world system.
Totally free, new creations, living by and for the eternal life of the King, everyone who is not in this condition is bad company.
