When singles are looking for their perfect match, an important consideration is the relationship they have with God now. Their faith and outlook on life will affect how their lives will be shaped, especially when it comes to a life partner. This includes what they look for in a marriage partner and the kind of relationship they’ll likely have together. Our blog post today is about Scriptures on the topic of love, so singles can understand what God wants from us about this most important topic.
Scriptures On Love
Given that our God is Love, when we find God, we also find love. We can love others better when we love God first. For, as the Bible says: “We love because He first loved us” (I John 4:19).
Our relationships with others are important to God, so we should strive to create relationships that are approved of by Him and seek things that bring us closer to God, as well. If a relationship is hurting you and taking you away from your faith, that relationship needs to go, no matter how much it’ll hurt you in the short-term. To know what God wants from us, our Scriptures on love show what God is expecting from us.
Being equally yoked is evoked in the Bible to show us how important it is to maintain (and grow) a Godly life. So we should search for those who worship our Lord with the same intensity.
When seeking a life partner, single Christians should make sure that they seek someone who loves God as much as they do. As the Bible says: “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand” (Mark 3:25).
So, dear single Christian, when searching for true love online, make sure you’ve made it clear to others where you stand and how important your faith is to you (and a future relationship).
