Be yet not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what hath light with darkness?.

2 Corinthians 6 vs 14

According to the English dictionary unrighteousness is to adhere to moral principles, thus unrighteousness from God's point of view implies failure to adhere to godly principles. From the verse above, it is clear that God does not want His children to be involved in unrighteousness. Unrighteousness as destroyed many homes, communities and nations. The desire to live outside of God has led many to destruction.

Unrighteousness characterized many faces of lives in our nation today even the Church Of God is not free from this evil disease. The requirement of God is not free from this evil disease. The requirement of God is righteousness within and without. The early church exhibits righteousness in their daily work with God and this made God to manifest His power in their lives and ministries. Enoch walked with God and God took him away from the corruption of this world.

It is unfortunate that the power of God is diminishing among the children of God and the power of the enemy is raging everywhere. Why?

Disobedience To God
Dishonesty
Unholy Living
Lack Of Integrity
Focus On Earth than Heaven
Follow the word of Men/devil instead of God
The Bible requested us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. Righteousness grant you acceptance in the sight of God. Unrighteousness makes a person a candidate of hell fire. God expects us to be righteous in all our dealings whether with God or man, in our offices, places of work, business, family , church of God etc, righteousness is required of us. Are you a righteous man or woman?

God hates unrighteousness; His favor is far from an unrighteous person. We are told that "the wicked flee when no man pursueth but the righteous are as bold as a lion.......Whoso ever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit but the upright shall have good things in his possession.

Romans 1:18
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures

This is a brilliant message, the unrighteous and the ungodly have no place in God's kingdoms, ungodliness are the things, the sins that are keeping us away from fellowships with God, the bible says sin is like a filthy rag, and it also says blessed is the man who walketh not in the ways of the ungodliness.
We must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers lest we ourselves become like them, but we must strive hard to do our best in getting them to the kingdom of God.

This is a splendid message, the indecent and the wicked have no place in God's kingdoms, corruption are the things, the wrongdoings that are fending off us from cooperations with God, the book of scriptures says sin resembles a soiled cloth, and it likewise says favored is the man who walketh not in the methods for the profaneness.

The righteous man inherits the kingdom and his word is bond because he inherits great favour from the Lord. Righteousness is a strong virtue which every believer must possess as only the righteous will enter heaven.

God is not mocked, every man's work would be rewarded. Both good and bad, the book of Roman's made the reward of the unrighteous very clear.

For I am not embarrassed about the gospel, for it is the energy of God for salvation to everybody who accepts, to the Jew first and furthermore to the Greek. 17 For in it the exemplary nature of God is uncovered from confidence to confidence; as it is composed, "However THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." 18 For the fury of God is uncovered from paradise against all profaneness and corruption of men who stifle reality in indecency, 19 since that which is thought about God is apparent inside them; for God made it clear to them. 20 For since the making of the world His undetectable traits, His endless power and perfect nature, have been obviously observed, being comprehended through what has been made, so they are without pardon. 21 For despite the fact that they knew God, they didn't respect Him as God or express gratefulness, however they ended up useless in their theories, and their silly heart was obscured. 22 Professing to be savvy, they moved toward becoming boneheads, 23 and traded the brilliance of the honest God for a picture as corruptible man and of feathered creatures and four-footed creatures and slithering animals

God favor everybody of you @sirknight @steemchurch @sc-n. Furthermore, to all of you are incredible.

Its true for God hates sin and the wages of sin Rom 6:23a and by no means no unrighteous man will inherite the kingdom of God as they shown in 1cor 6:9-10
for the Bible teaches us that "As the father in heaven is Holy, so all that yarn to see Him must be holy. for in God there is no deceit and so we also must be. thanks @lenawrite with that teaching

For since the making of the world His undetectable traits, His endless power and perfect nature, have been obviously observed, being comprehended through what has been made, so they are without pardon.
