dating him....

Posted by lovehim! on Jan 22 2010 5:23PM

I'm dating this guy...he isn't exactly a christian though. Although he isn't christian he acts like a christian in the way he talks/dresses/presents himself. he won't fight, he's sweet and nice, and i love him. He knows I am a christian but we don't talk about it much. He would never dare hurt anyone..he even loves his enemies. my question is, is it a bad thing I'm dating him? and can i get kept out of heaven for this and possibly being "unequally yoked"? thanks

Be careful about leading him to Christ if he's only doing it because he loves you. Often "love" clouds what we see. If you guys are studying the Bible with someone and trying to learn about Christ, I think that would be better. Jesus loves both of you and He wants to save both of you. But, you cannot save your boyfriend, and he cannot save you. You both must be honest with each other, about what you believe, and honest with God. Neither of you should sacrifice your relationship with God over an earthly relationship. This is a tough situation, but I God will guide you. Keep praying and studying God's Word.

the good book clearly states that the believing will sanctify the unbelieving and if you both love each other then you need to talk to him about being a christian and God,you need to lead him to the cross and if he already has all those christian attributes then i wouldn't be so hard for him to give his life to christ.

Here's my suggestion... If he really is a Christian, then you guys should be talking about it. Have Bible studies together, pray, go to church together, etc. God should ALWAYS be the center of your relationship. If He's not, then you shouldn't be in a relationship. Step back and evaluate where you are in your walk with Christ. If you can't hold a solid relationship with God on your own, then you won't really be able to in any other relationship either. Seek God first, and then decide if your relationship with your boyfriend is God's will or your own.

I'll give it to you straght. You love him, then lead him! You may be the only person that can point him in the right direction. And if he feels the same for you, he will listen and and at least consider your words. Jesus didi say that if you uplift his name, He would shout your name in Heaven! WOW!!
