How do we know spiritual matters are important in our dealings?

The sermon emphasizes that our interactions in the spiritual realm must reflect our commitment to God. If we associate with those who are ungodly or indulge in fleshly desires, we risk compromising our faith. The proverb serves not only as a good business practice but as a spiritual warning against participating in the godlessness of others. We must discern wisely, as those who disregard God's teachings are often untrustworthy in all matters, especially spiritual. Thus, maintaining spiritual integrity is found in trusting God rather than individuals who live contrary to His word.
