Christian Singles Dating Advice and More
Are you one of the many Bible-defined Christian singles looking for Christian dating advice and your life's partner? Are you involved in Christian dating?
As a professing Christian single do you put the message of the Bible
first and foremost? If so, this important 10 point message may prevent
you from ruining your earthly life here and going to hell after death. (If you are not interested in what the Bible says, then stop now and read no more. This message is for the children of God who want God's truth for Christian singles and Christian dating advice.)
If you are a Christian single, make sure you marry only another Christian.
Never settle for anyone less than a child of God.To marry a
non-Christian, that is, a child of the devil, is to have Satan as your
spiritual father-in-law. This spells big trouble!
IMPORTANT Christian Dating Advice! The Divorced Are Not Single
When involved in Christian dating and trying to locate a potential Christian for your life's partner, evaluate him or her by his or her heart, not their physical appearance, how charming they are, how much money they have, etc. Since God does everything right and he looks on the heart of man, then we should exalt that as most important too. Also, remember some very handsome men and beautiful women have had wicked hearts, as shown even in the Bible with Absalom (a man) and Bathsheba (a woman).
Christian Singles and Loneliness
Please remember as painful as loneliness can be for a Christian single, such a condition is far better than marrying the wrong person. Make no mistake about it, if you marry the wrong person, that person can easily ruin your life here and drag you to
hell with them beyond the grave.
Without a doubt, the person you marry will influence you spiritually either in a good or bad way. Hence, an unsaved spouse probably will, at least, severely hurt you spiritually, if not destroy your
salvation.
I
personally know people who have made this tragic mistake and have
suffered incredibly in many ways, especially spiritually. Certainly,
none of them thought it would ever turn out to be so bad as it did.
Hence, taking some Christian dating advice and don't follow their sad
example. The same could (and probably will) happen to you.
The Devil
has and still is tempting Christian singles with a potential spouse
that is not right for him or her, or one that is not a real Christian at
all. It only makes spiritual sense that he would do this since his chief goal is to destroy souls. He can also manipulate circumstances and people at times, according to the Book of Job. Be
sure the devil will have some of his children attend the same so-called
Christian single events that you do—so be on your guard! Be selective before you get involved in Christian dating. This is a warning that Christian singles need to take to heart.
As
a Christian single, keep serving the Lord Jesus faithfully as you wait
for the right person to come into your life. Keep your main focus in
sight, namely being faithful to the Lord Jesus. In heaven there will be no marriages (Mt. 22:30). Also, Isaac was forty before he got married (Gen. 25:20) and some great men and women of God have never gotten married. The Lord himself was never married.
Make sure you marry a Christian
single who is Scripturally eligible for marriage. In other words, many
so-called Christian singles are not really single in God's eyes! They
are actually still married to their ‘divorced' spouse even though the apostate churches of our hour might not recognize this fact and wrongly consider them single. To enter into such an
adulterous relationship in God's eyes, through such a so-called 'marriage' is spiritually destructive.
You will always be safe from this to marry a Christian single who has never been married before or one whose spouse has died. That is the ONLY WAY you should proceed. The marriage annulment myth is no exception to this!
Law of Marriage
Too many church people, including Christian singles, take marriage far too lightly. Remember the
law of marriage as taught by the Apostle Paul. In Rom. 7:2,3 we read:
By law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So
then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she
is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from
that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.
This means you must be with this person until death. Is that how you, as a Christian single, look at your potential spouse? If not, then don't marry him or her. Do that person and yourself both a favor and end your relationship before getting married.
Christian Singles, Keep Yourself Pure
If
you find a Christian single who is eligible for marriage and you have
peace about marrying that person, make sure you have no sexual contact
before you are married. To become sexually united before, even though
you both love each other, is to place both you and your loved one on the
road to hell again!
(Please know there is
no eternal security. Do not be deceived by the false teachers of our day.)
You can be victorious over sexual temptation.
Be self-controlled and conduct yourself in a holy manner. Remember:
The best thing you can ever do for your potential life's mate is to help
him/her out spiritually. Hence, your conduct and doctrine are both very important.
Do
not marry a person who merely professes to be a Christian, but
Biblically isn't. Many people say “Lord, Lord” but are actually evildoers, according to Mt. 7:21-23. Such
have not crucified their sinful natures and are, therefore, excluded
from God's salvation, according to Gal. 5:24. Other evildoers could have
been Christian at one past point (2 Pet. 2:20-22; James 5:19,20; etc.).
Such people may be popular, wealthy, intelligent, handsome, etc. The
question is: Is he/she
Obeying the Lord Jesus now?
To be a Christian now, one must have a trusting and submitting faith in the Lord Jesus. That is what it means to believe on Jesus Christ for salvation. Jesus must be followed and trusted in 100% for Salvation—and not Jesus AND something or someone else like Mary,
church membership, keeping the Saturday Sabbath, water baptism, etc.
This means, don't marry a professing Christian single who is believing
wrongly in these areas or one who believes in eternal security, even
though they may seem extremely sincere. Unsaved people can be very
sincere and zealous. (Eternal
Security is a False Gospel, 1 Cor. 15:2; Col. 1:22,23, Gal. 1:8, Jude 3,4, etc.)
People who believe dangerous false doctrines about salvation will only prove to be a snare to your soul, unless they truly get their doctrines straight.
If they don't go by the Bible alone for spiritual truth, don't marry them.
Never forget: Your most valuable possession is your eternal SOUL.
Don't ever jeopardize it for anything or anyone. Keep your main focus
in sight always, that is, getting into God's paradise kingdom. Something infinitely worse than never getting married is ending up in hell.
