Love seems to be something everybody searches
for. We all want love from a significant other, most of us want to settle down
someday and spend our lives with said significant other. There is only one love
we need though and that is God’s. With his love, we are capable of doing
anything. In order to emphasis this point, there are countless numbers of
verses in the Bible that reference God’s love. I think the most popular one is
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” There have
been infinite amount of discussions about this verse, but I think it is one
that we should have more discussion about. GOD SACRIFICED HIS SON for us! We
are all sinners, but God saw some sort of hope in us and loves us so much that
he gave his own son to save us! Not only that, but he gave us the promise of
eternal life. All we have to do is believe in him. His own son died so that we
can get eternal life just by believing in him. This is further emphasized by
the verse Romans 5:8 “Christ died for us while we were still sinners. This
demonstrates God’s love for us.” I want love like any other person, but I know
that God has a plan for me and I trust that he knows what is best for me. The
Bible goes even further and in 1 John 4:8 it says “Whoever does not love does
not know God, because God is love.”
In order to make this
subject something I can better relate to, I want to discuss God’s part in a
relationship. I think that in a relationship, God should definitely be present.
Talking about God should not be a taboo subject for a couple. By including God
in a relationship, I feel like an unspoken agreement is made based on what God
would want. That is why I believe that sex should be saved until after marriage.
Adultery is something God spoke out against, and in my eyes that includes
saving sex until after marriage. Once I am united with my husband before the
eyes of God, will I let myself shed my virgin status. Something that I have
stood by and said many times is that I want to be able to proudly wear white on
my wedding day. I feel like that a relationship should grow spiritually before
it becomes physical. If a relationship is all about physical wants, then it
more than likely won’t survive rough waters. Since I don’t believe that divorce
is something that should be taken lightly, I want to make sure that my husband
and I are on the same page and strong enough spiritually before introducing
more intimate parts.
