Are you pleasing Jesus or the human being (see Gal 1:10)?
• Pro 20:16 -> “Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman.”.
Many women, when goes to try to enthrall someone, make use of smooth, delicious words:
• Pro 2:16 -> “So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,”.
• Pro 5:3 -> “For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,”.
• Pro 7:5 -> “to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.”.
Nonetheless, the Holy Scripture is clear:
• Pro 31:3 -> “Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.”.
Although, at first, this is related to prostitution and adultery, this principle can be extended. Don’t try to conquer or keep the friendship of someone transgressing some principle of the Holy Scripture. If the person is really your friend, this person won’t demand on you to do something that will compromise your well-being, let alone the good name of Jesus Christ.
If you can and desire assist someone, help in according to what Jesus supplied you:
• 2Co 8:12 -> “For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.”.
• 1Pe 4:10,11 -> “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”.
If the Creator didn’t provide you and you crave for helping the person, pray in order to seek Jesus’ wish for you and the other person and do pursuant to what He instructed you. Certainly He will show to you someone to whom He wish to use to help you both (as in the parable of the importune annoyer – Luke 11:5-8).
So, have a good day without compromise your liberty in Christ Jesus and the greatness of His name. Ask Jesus to instruct you about how to help people around you.
