Christian Roommates: Finding Good Company
Summary
The apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 15:33: "Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character." This principle should guide you as you choose your roommates. Just as your family shaped your early years, the people you live with will influence your behavior, thoughts, and values. Choosing strong, Christian roommates can support your growth, as Proverbs 27:17 reminds us: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."Article
Selecting the right roommates is crucial, as highlighted by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:33: "Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character." Your living situation can significantly influence how you think, speak, and act. Choosing solid, Christian roommates can foster personal growth. As Proverbs 27:17 states, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
However, the opposite is also true. Poor influences can gradually erode your character, often without you realizing it. To avoid this, opt for roommates you know well. Spend time with them in different settings to assess their values and habits. Seek opinions from others who might offer additional insight.
If you're moving in with someone new, such as in a college dorm, you’ll need to trust in God's guidance for good companionship. Have open conversations with potential roommates to establish expectations for shared spaces. Let them know respectfully that activities like drugs and heavy partying aren’t in line with your lifestyle. A considerate approach will foster mutual understanding.
In cases where you're already living with someone of questionable character, seek support outside your living situation. Join a local church or campus group for encouragement and community. This connection can help you maintain your values and might even positively influence your roommate.
Choosing good company is crucial for personal growth and maintaining your values. With the right approach and support, you can create a positive living environment.
