UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who you marry, will either push you closer to Christ or drag you away from Him.

2 Corinthians 6:14, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Marriage is a beautiful thing in God’s eyes. As young people search out for whom they would marry, they need to keep the most important, the most necessary, the most Christ honoring principle; right in front of their eyes. What is it you may ask? Well, they need to make sure that their spouse is saved and on the way to Heaven. Scripture says, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3. If you can’t walk together because you have different views about life, how in the world do you plan on making it if you get married?  

There are a lot problems that arise when a saved person falls in love with a lost person, desiring to marry them. This is why the Lord tells His children to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Christian friend, will you follow God’s Word, protecting your heart, or will you succumb to the lust of the flesh and marry someone who is an enemy of God?
