Love

 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.
