In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul helps us understand God's purposes for conviction.

Many priests have stood, but only one has sat down because of his finished work!

You can feel that you don't have the power to obey the Lord. If you were under the Old Covenant, that would be true! However, since Jesus has established the New Covenant, he has begun a divine work in you that enables you to will and to do his good pleasure!

In 2 Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul tells the Corinthians that one of those things is deep, meaningful relationships with unbelievers. He calls these believers to remove themselves from their unequal yokes and pursue total devotion to God.
