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.
14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there for righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion is there for light with darkness?15 And what agreement is there for Christ with Belial? Or what part is there for a believer with an infidel?
33 Do not be deceived: "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 that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?20 For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both this [stomach] and these [foods]. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
9 but if they are not exercising self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn [with passion].
4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
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.
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
