Dating and Relationships
Loading 2 Corinthians 6:14…
The image is agricultural: two animals joined to pull in one direction. Paul is not teaching contempt for unbelievers, since the same letter urges reconciliation with the world. He is warning about a binding partnership between people walking in two different directions.
A prayer from this passage
Lord, I want to be honest with You about what I want and who I am becoming with. Give me wisdom about the people I let close, purity in how I love, and patience to wait for what is good rather than what is available.
Key truth
Scripture calls believers to pursue relationships marked by shared faith, purity and honour rather than by desire alone.
