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 your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?15 And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
3 Can two walk together except they are agreed?
33 Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.
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 sexual perversion. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in 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 Gods.
13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual perversion but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be on fire.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem: Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.
4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but prostitutes 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.
18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper to complement him.
14 Houses and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
14 And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
