Bible Question: Does the Bible address living together before marriage? |
Bible Answer: Jesus addressed the issue with the women at the well in John 4. Jewish tradition and the law condemned the practice of living together. Jesus used the issue to convict this women's conscience in a non-condemning and courteous way in order for her to realize her need for a savior and to be receptive of the living water Jesus was offering her. Her sin was convicted internally not externally. Notice that Jesus did not condemn her of her sin, only offered her the forgiveness for it and the power over it. Too many times we try to bring people up to a certain level of morality to meet Jesus when He is willing to meet them where they are at and raise them up Himself! retxar |
