2 Corinthians 6: 14-16

I read this passage today and I liked it so much, I  just had to write something about it.  Here it is..... :)
2 Cor. 6:14-16
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
    "I will make my dwelling place among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." 
         We should expect to have a disconnection with unbelievers because the purpose or goal of their lives is not pointing to the Creator. The purpose of a believers life should always be pointing toward Christ and trying to be more like Him. We are the body of Christ, the temple of the living God. God has no similarities to the idols  and because He is the light, has no connection with the darkness. He is righteous, which means no partnership with lawlessness. But even though we were sinners and idol worshipers and law breakers and full of darkness Jesus humbled himself all the way to the teensy weensy itty bitty size of man. But He was fully God at the same time! My mind doesn't even wrap around that a billionth of an inch. Christ made a way for us to take part in a wonderful relationship with Him. We are now in His body, the body of Christ. He fills us with light and covers us with His righteousness and causes us to listen to Him, for the sake of the name and to bring us joy. Christ was persecuted by the ones he came to save and the ones he created, those whom he loved turned their back on Him. We spit on him, cursed him, reviled him, hated him, beat him, called him prince of demons, when he was really the Son of God. But he loved us so much, with a genuine, unworldly love. He forgave us, healed us, blessed us, called us to himself, died for us. The lamb of God, who has no connection to sin, or darkness, or the devil, became sin, took our sin, and made us clean.
