NOTHING TO OFFER

Memorise: "And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (2 Cor 6:15)

Read: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

The Bible has warnings to prevent intending couples from derailing their trip to marriage. For every single and searching brother or sister, care must be taken on the issue of choice in marriage. First, you must never choose an unbeliever as your life partner. Believing that you can convert him later is the greatest gamble and deception you could get yourself into. You may say He is very nice and a complete gentleman just that he is not born again. Or, that she is a very pleasant, polite and courteous lady only that she is not born again. The fact that she is not born again makes all the difference! If you are able to get hooked to the right partner, your heaven has started on earth: but if you marry the wrong partner, you will start burning in hell on earth before you go there. As a believer in Christ, you are standing on the rock. But that unbeliever is on sinking sand or miry clay, and if you attempt to pull him up, you have a 50 - 50 chance of succeeding or failing. According to today's reading, you have no communion, concord, part, agreement, or fellowship with an unbeliever. The unbeliever cannot offer you any of these in marriage so you are only wasting your time but digging a grave for yourself. Break that relationship today!




Another thing of note is that you should not choose a baby Christian until you are sure he or she is truly saved. Let the fellow find his or her feet spiritually first. In addition, do not be carried away during courtship. Usually, a man is at his best during courtship. If during courtship he begins to quarrel, beat or fight you, just know that you have found the wrong partner. They say, Love is blind: but marriage opens its eyes. That man or woman could pretend to be an angel, but after marriage, the true colour will show. The elders say: The eyes that will last till the evening will not begin to give trouble in the morning. If you are already in courtship with an unbeliever, go and pray again. When God says marriage to an unbeliever has nothing to offer, it will take a fool or someone who is wiser than God to go ahead. Do not trap yourself in a lifetime of regret!







Ask God to guide all our youths and singles to their rightful partners in marriage.
