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 Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness?15 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?
33 Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
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 the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body does sin.19 Have you not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which you have from God? and you are not your own,20 for you were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
13 the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
9 and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;
4 honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall 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 and above all these things, have love, which is a bond of the perfection,
