There have been times in my life that I have had different "kinds" of friends. Some good and some bad. One thing I have found to be true about each period of friendship is I became exactly like them!
This is why it is so very important for us to be Christ-like. When we let down our gaurd and become more accustomed to what the flesh wants, we are allowing an oppertunity for the devil to use a bad influence in our life. A bad influence such as a friend.
When you begin to chase after ungodliness, you are bound to reap ungodly friends!
If you are wanting to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord, you must be aware of who you hang around. Wether we notice it or not people have a big impact on how we respond and make decisions in our life. Make sure the people you are spending your time with are good godly influences in your life.
These are just a few things that are different in a godly and ungodly persons life:
A Godly Friend
*encourages
*uplifts
*lives a seperated life
*goes to church
*reads and studies the Bible
*prays
*helps you spiritually
A Ungodly Friend
*downgrades
*talks dirty
*hateful
*parties
*lives a conformed | worldly life
*disrespectful
If you want to determine the kind of person you are becoming a good way to reflect is by observing your friends and those who have the biggest impact in your life.
