Christian Dating - Are You Obeying God?
What is important when a true Christian is dating? What
guidelines should that person follow to ensure they are obeying God? Where
should you look to find Christian Singles? We
are going to cover these questions with a few tips based on what the word of
God says. We must remember that when we look for any answers you must start
by looking in the Bible. How wonderful it is that God gave us his words
filled with the answers to all of life's questions. Lets begin!
God Is First:
Ecclesiastes 12:13
13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
To obey God you have to put him first above all other
things. You cannot lose sight of making God a number one priority in your
lives. You should seek a single Christian who also believes in putting God
first so that both of you can learn from each other and grow spiritually.
Remember that God has a purpose for your life and he knows who the best
Christian partner will be to ensure that his will can be accomplished
through you.
Only Date a Bible Believing Christian:
2 Corinthians 6:14
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
Nothing good will come from going against Gods word.
His word says we should not date unbelievers, so guess what...DON'T DATE
UNBELIEVERS! What usually happens when someone stays in this circumstance is
that they themselves fall away from God by the influence of their unsaved
partner. In order to find and follow Gods will for your life you must obey
him and not put yourself in this position.
Take Steps Together To Obey God:
Philippians 2:2
2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of
one accord, of one mind.
Make sure you both understand what needs to happen to
grow as Christians together and ensure that you are obeying God together.
Hebrews 13:4 reminds us that God wants sexual purity before marriage. Do not
give in to sexual sin and you will find yourselves so much closer to God as
a couple than you thought possible. Begin to pray together and seek
pre-marriage counsel from your local Pastor. Taking these steps will please
God and he will bless you as a couple in amazing ways.
Where To Look? Start At Your Church:
When searching for that Christian single you need to
start in your local church body first. Only after you have done that can you
look at new options from trusted sources. There is a kingdom minded
Christian Dating website that I would highly suggest which can be found on
the right side of the homepage on my website (see author resource for my
homepage address). They are known for keeping God first in all there
services which is why I recommend them.
Finding a kingdom minded partner will help you press
forward in finding Gods purpose in your life. For you to do something
amazing for God you must ensure that the home has God in its Core, and that
will all start with finding the right Christian partner for you. (When you
do find your Christian partner that you fall in love with, make sure you
give God all the glory!)
