CHRISTIAN DATING IS DIFFERENT
world’s idea of dating is dangerous at best. That’s why the
Scripture tells us not to be conformed to this world, but to be
transformed by the renewing of our minds. (Rom. 12:2.) We
renew our minds with the knowledge of God’s Word.
Here are 3 ways a Christian dating experience should be different
from one in the world.
1. In the world, people date to check someone out; a
Christian date is focused on building someone up.Dating in the world is like “trying someone on” like a
pair of shoes—if they don’t fit quite right for you, just
disregard them and move on to someone else. A
Christian’s focus should be on encouraging each other
in life and in one another’s walk with God.
2. The world bases a large part of success in their dates
on connecting physically, while Christians should be
prizing spiritual things first. It’s not that you shouldn’t
be attracted to someone by looks, but maintaining
sexual purity must be at the top of your commitment to
each other.
3. The world will often lie and deceive to achieve their
goals in dating. Christians are to be committed to
integrity and honesty. Don’t try to be someone you are
not. Tell the truth. If someone doesn’t like the “real
you,” don’t worry about it. Obviously, that person isn’t
“the one.”
