What is serious dating?
Serious dating is a relationship with a person of the opposite sex
with the end goal of
_________________________ in mind.
What about relationships?
If we mishandle our relationships with others, we will not only
cause ______________________ and
_________________, but will also ____________________________________.
The most important goal of any relationship is that God is
______________________.
Our relationships should therefore be
______________________________________.
For the individual, the first and
greatest commandment is to ________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________.
In a relationship, we should therefore
always encourage each other towards this goal.
Genesis 2:24 “For this reason
a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will
become one flesh.”
To me, marriage is __________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________.
Marriage is an institution that God created and carries with it much
responsibility. Since marriage is to be treated seriously, dating should also
be treated seriously with the same sense of responsibility.
God intends for us to have _______________________________,
____________________________
______________________________ and ________________________________________________
relationships with each other.
Relationships that are romantic in nature must therefore begin
______________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________.
If we do not follow ______________’s timing, there will be more pain
and trouble than is necessary.
It will also show that
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________.
(See James 4:13-17)
How do we handle members
of the opposite sex?
1.
Treat them as ______________________________
1 Timothy 5:1-2 “Do not rebuke
and older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger
men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with
absolute purity.”
God calls us to treat
others as _______________________________________________ and
with
_____________________________________________.
This means treating them _________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
2.
Treat with ______________________________
1 John 4:7-12
Why should we love? (Verse ________________)
_______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
What is love? (Verse
________________)
_______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
3.
Treat with
_______________________________
Hebrews 10:24 “And let us
consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
God wants us to ____________________________________ and
_________________________
______________________________________________________________________________.
Ephesians 4:29 – 5:2
We are called to ____________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
because we are dearly loved children of God.
This is good and pleasing in God’s sight, proper for
________________________________________.
(1 John 4:8)
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his
good, pleasing and perfect will.”
This week, I am going to encourage and pray for
_____________________________________, loving him/her with absolute purity,
that God may be glorified in our friendship.
God loves you!
