God’s word is timeless and never changes (Matthew 24:35). Though it was written thousands of years ago under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it still applies today (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Have you ever had a friend who just couldn’t see all the obvious flaws you clearly noticed in the person they were falling in love with? Or perhaps you can look back on some of your own relationship choices and say, “What was I thinking? Why couldn’t I see the warning signs?”
Can God tell you who to marry by giving you a dream? And if you do have a dream about someone, how will you know if this was from the Lord or if it was just your own brain playing tricks on you?
“Mark, there are no Christians in my area. How am I supposed to get married one day if I can’t date an unbeliever?”
“But why wouldn’t God want me with this person if I truly love them?”
“I know we shouldn’t be unequally yoked, but the Bible also says we should make disciples of all nations. What if this is God’s plan for this person to get saved?”
“Who am I to judge? This person supports me in my faith. Love is love. Right?”
So what’s the big deal? Why does the Bible warn against unequally yoked relationships?
