To influence is to have an effect on the character or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself. Whether you are a Christian or not, we have all been in a similar position at least once in our lives. For example, someone you know influences you into something that compromises your Christian faith. If the source of influence causes you to distance from God with that moment, stop. Reevaluate the situation and run the other way. Literally! There are so many examples! We all have friends or that one friend that loves to gossip. Run the other way. That friend that isn't faithful? Run the other way. One bad fruit can cause others to be wasted as well. But we mustn't take this out of context either. We shouldn't put the blame only on the other person. We too are at fault. But I am here to tell you that God knows these things even before you do them. His very Word warns us about things of this nature. The Bible can change your life. You just have to read it. Let it influence you. Have a blessed day and be a positive influence!
1 Corinthians 15:33 - "Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
