You should not associate with people who call themselves brothers or sisters in the Christian faith but live in sexual sin, are greedy, worship false gods, use abusive language, get drunk, or are dishonest. Don’t eat with such people.
1 Corinthians 5:11
Tough love can look like anything but love. It’s the kind of love that says no to a loved one’s requests for kindness and to cries for someone to bail them out when their sin has gotten them into a mess that only their repentance can get them out of. And it takes a stand because it knows that a sin that continues to be adored and protected is a sin that can’t be forgiven.
In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul warned the church in Corinth that they could no longer turn a blind eye to the sins of their brothers and sisters. That’s because the one who accepts another in spite of their desire to continue living in sin commits a sin alongside them. And that is not love; it’s codependency, and it encourages the sinner in their self-deception. This kind of false love is always selfish, because it’s afraid to confront someone about their sin out of fear of embarrassment or rejection, and that puts fear before God and before the spiritual well-being of the other person. Being a God Girl means being fearless in the faith, unafraid to confront and reject believers who choose to live in sin without confessing it or attempting to repent.
While we should not be on the offensive, attacking the sin of each and every human being we encounter, you should know that your closest friendships need a lot of honesty, and if you, your friends, or fellow God Girls are rejecting God’s law by consciously choosing to live in some kind of sin, then you are called to let them know. You might even have to tell them you can’t hang out with them anymore if they choose to keep on sinning instead of to start confessing. A sin accepted is a sin committed. Heed the warning of 1 Corinthians, and don’t let the approval of your friends’ sinful habits become a conspiracy to sin.
