Bible Question: Is dating when your a christian right in god's eyes? |
Bible Answer: My brother just got married on the 17th of this month to a beautiful woman of God. When he came to Christ a year ago, he came with a broken heart. He told me that he wanted a wife, a real woman to love him. I told him that since he was saved now that God would like for him to have a saved wife and to ask God for a wife (as opposed to searching in the world for one). Five months later, my brother says that God told him who his wife was. One of the young evangelist also became very interested in my brother and later she told me that God had spoken to her and said that this guy was her husband (she didn't even know that he was my brother). They began dating and in one year, they are now married. I think the most important thing is to wait on God. Also, as Rowdy advised, stick to Christians. God says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel (unbeliever)? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Since the Bible doesn't deal with dating directly, we have to know our God. He wants us to trust Him for everything and He wants to be first in our lives. If the motive for dating is to find a soul mate, then I would advise you to ask and wait on God because He wants you to be happy and He will prepare you for your mate and prepare your mate for you. If you are dating someone who God has sent you, then you're getting to know each other. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Proverbs 18:22 I hope this helps. WalkingTalkingBible |
