Ok...in this post, Unequally Yoked would simply mean being in a relationship with a non-Christian.
What does this single guy know about BGR??? U may say i think too much...I don't dare say I will pass the test. But at least, I am prepared.
Some say that there are many single people mah...hold on to this person for what???
Easy to say lah..when u're in it, it's tough.
I believe God has reasons why this command was given.
If you end up marrying a non-christian, did you do something wrong?
I think it's more of a wisdom issue rather than right or wrong.
Many events will lead to another and you will be tested in you walk with God. ( i can give examples but i don't wanna make this post too long)
Look at how the wisest person on earth, King Solomon failed? so wise but stupid oso...haih...
There are also many broken families, divorce or etc although both are Christians right? This is another issue.
I have personally known of people who have "Stories of success". Somehow, they managed to get the other person to be a Christian or the other person willingly accepted through other means.
Again, it's a matter or wisdom.
Here are some analogies.
-a person speeds and does not get fined
-a person does last minute study but get higher marks than the one who studied earlier.
Driving at the appointed speed limit is a law. Studying consistently is good advice and works most of the time.
But people do get away with it. So how?
At the end, you gotta make your choice.
Some say love conquers all lah..give and take lah...etc.
I believe it is not worth risking the other person's happiness(and your own) just because we assume things will work out.
Just like I don't wanna speed over the limit or study last minute.
Of coz, people say what is life without risks? You can go ahead. Nobody can stop you. The journey will indeed be tougher...
Do you believe God has someone in store for you?
Proverbs 19:14
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
What bout girls? same lah...God knows.
The Challenge: If you are in a relationship with a non-Christian,i know it's tough to let go. What to do? Do this.
Keep your walk with God consistent and close(do your devotion, pray, read, etc)..see if you will be "bugged" by the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 6:14-16
4 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with
darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is
there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people
