Paul states very clear in 2. Corinthians 6:14 who you shouldn\u2019t be looking for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul makes it plain that you shouldn\u2019t get in a relationship with someone who doesn\u2019t believe in Christ. Why? There are countless reasons: You have different worldviews, different standards, different lifestyles, spend your finances differently, etc. And what if you\u2019re going to have kids? How will you raise them? If you get married to someone who isn\u2019t a believer in Christ, you will regret it later on for the rest of your life, trust me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes I hear people say \u201cBut what if he changes. When he sees my faith, he will convert.\u201d To be honest with you, this is dreaming. It most likely won\u2019t happen. The stakes are too high for you to take that risk. Remember that you will spend your whole life with this person, not being able to share that one thing that means the most to you (Jesus Christ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. He should be a believer with fruits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not every man who says he is a Christian, has a changed heart. Jesus tells us that we recognize people by their fruits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.<\/em> Matthew 7:16<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does that mean? Look at his deeds and motives. What is he doing and why? Does he serve at church, is he loving and kind? What motives does he have? Does he want to get rich quickly to buy all those nice things or is God\u2019s kingdom the first thing on his mind? How does he spend his time? Does he spend time with God, reading the Bible and seeking his will? Talk to him and try to figure out what moves him. Look if he has his life together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In his letter to the Galatians, Paul gives us a list of ungodly behaviors (the bad fruits): <\/p>\n\n\n\n The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.<\/em> Galatians 5:19-21<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then, Paul describes the fruits of the Spirit: <\/p>\n\n\n\n But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.<\/em> Galatians 5:22-23<\/p>\n\n\n\n Observe and analyze him. Discern which category he fits in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Talk to God<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you gained nothing out of this blog post so far, just get this last point right and you have everything you need to know about godly relationships. The first and foremost thing you need to have for your relationship to work out is an intimate, close relationship to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is more aspiring when it comes to forming a great relationship. It is the foundation of everything else. I\u2019m not talking about reading your Bible once in a while and attending church on Sundays. I\u2019m talking about seeking God intentionally every single day. You form a deep relationship by opening up and letting God shape you into the image of who he is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Get serious about your walk with the Lord and lay down your life in his hands. The closer you are to God, the more you know whom to be in a relationship with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you seek God\u2019s heart above all else, you can\u2019t miss the man he has for you. I promise you: When you\u2019re so focused on pursuing God, he will surprise you with a man who fits amazingly to you at his right timing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few true words at last\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many times, you know deep down inside if he\u2019s the one or not. But you just don\u2019t want to face the hard truth of a broken relationship and being single again. You don\u2019t want to make the tough call in fear of making a mistake and that you won\u2019t get another shot at a good man. You don\u2019t feel worthy enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s another reason that\u2019s behind not wanting to break up: You don\u2019t really trust God to provide you with someone better. You don\u2019t truly believe that God can bring you someone who fits perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fear of leaving, fear of being alone, fear of the unknown, fear of making mistakes, fear of not being good enough and the fear that somebody better won\u2019t come, will keep you from forming a godly relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.<\/em>2. Timothy 1:7<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides your decision for Christ, whom you marry is probably the second biggest decision you\u2019re going to make in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How to be single<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n What marriage is teaching me<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 pratical tips to hear God’s voice<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Follow me on Instagram<\/a> for daily encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you need more trust in God?
