Namoro
O namoro cristão deve ser vivido com sabedoria, pureza e propósito. A Bíblia orienta sobre escolher um cônjuge, guardar o coração e honrar a Deus em todo relacionamento.
Guardar o coração
Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida. O namoro exige vigilância e sabedoria.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.
14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?15 And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what share have believers with non-believers?
3 Shall two walk together unless they have agreed?
33 Be not led astray. Evil associations corrupt good habits.
Pureza e santidade
O corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos chama a fugir da imoralidade e esperar no amor com paciência e respeito mútuo.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin, whatever a man may do, is outside the body, but he who fornicates sins against his own body.19 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own,20 for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.
13 The foods are for the belly and the belly for foods, but God will abolish both this and these things. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
9 But if they have no self-control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.
4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until it please.
4 Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
A esposa prudente vem do Senhor
Deus criou o homem e a mulher para completarem-se. A casa e os bens são herança dos pais, mas a esposa prudente vem do Senhor.
18 And LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from LORD.
14 and above all these things, love, which is the bond of perfection.
