Bible verses about partying
Scripture clearly tells us we must not try to fit in with the world. We are not to indulge in things that God hates. Most high school, college, or adult parties are filled with worldly music, weed, alcohol, drug dealing, more drugs, devilish dancing, sensual women, lustful men, sex, unbelievers, and more ungodly things. How does being in that environment glorify God? We must not turn God’s grace into lasciviousness.
Don’t use the I’m going to bring the gospel to them excuse or the Jesus hung out with sinners excuse because both are false. People who go to worldly parties do not go hoping to find God. Saying you are going to evangelize is just you finding a way to go to that party.
Don’t be like the fake Christian hypocrites who shake their rear-ends and join in evilness at parties and clubs on Saturday, but a few hours later they’re at church playing Christian. You can’t play Christianity the only person you are fooling is yourself. People like this will be thrown into Hell. If God is working in your life you will grow in holiness not worldliness.
Don’t not join evil: Stay away from bad friends.
1. Romans 13:11-14 This is necessary because you know the times—it’s already time for you to wake up from sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we became believers. The night is almost over, and the day is near. Let’s therefore put aside the actions of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let’s behave decently, as people who live in the light of day. No wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, quarreling, or jealousy Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.
2. Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
3. Colossians 3:5-6 So put everything evil out of your life: sexual sin, doing anything immoral, letting sinful thoughts control you, and wanting things that are wrong. And don’t keep wanting more and more for yourself, which is the same as worshiping a false god. God will show his anger against those who don’t obey him, because they do these evil things.
4. Peter 4:4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you.
5. Ephesians 4:17-24 Therefore, I tell you and insist on in the Lord not to live any longer like the gentiles live, thinking worthless thoughts. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. Since they have lost all sense of shame, they have abandoned themselves to sensuality and practice every kind of sexual perversion without restraint. However, that is not the way you came to know the Messiah. Surely you have listened to him and have been taught by him, since truth is in Jesus. Regarding your former way of life, you were taught to strip off your old nature, which is being ruined by its deceptive desires, to be renewed in your mental attitude, and to clothe yourselves with the new nature, which was created according to God’s image in righteousness and true holiness.

I told you before and I am telling you again that those who do these things will have no place in the holy nation of God.
