The Why pt. 2
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
Doing a Bible study with someone you’re dating is not just about getting those spiritual brownie points; it’s about connecting on a level deeper than just your typical Netflix and chill. Plus, it’s a pretty cool way to see how you both navigate the big questions in life.
Remember, God’s words are powerful and alive, more cutting than the sharpest sword. The Bible has the ability to touch the very core of our being—our soul, spirit, and even our physical selves. God's words can cut through everything to see the true us and understand our deepest thoughts and desires.
Keep this in mind as you consider why to do a Bible study with someone you’re dating. Yes, it’ll be fun and rewarding, but it will also be challenging. This shared spiritual endeavor will push both of you to explore your beliefs, confront difficult questions, and support each other’s growth. It’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding of God, each other, and the values you want to instill into your relationship.
You’ll Grow Together Spiritually
It’s one thing to grow individually, but growing together spiritually can really strengthen your bond. It means you're not just sharing your favorite movies but also your beliefs and spiritual journeys, taking your relationship to a whole new level.
You’ll Understand Each Other’s Values
You’ll get a front-row seat to what matters most to your partner by understanding their values. It’s like unlocking the secret to their inner world, a place filled with their deepest hopes and fears. It's incredibly meaningful to be given that level of trust. The best part? Every conversation about the Word becomes a chance to discover something new about God and them.
You’ll Encourage Open Communication
Talking about faith and beliefs opens up new avenues of communication and understanding. By having these conversations, you're laying the foundation for a relationship where no topic is off-limits, creating a safe space for both of you. This openness paves the way for a more supportive and connected relationship.
You’ll Deal with Life’s Ups and Downs
Having a shared spiritual foundation can help you both navigate the challenges life throws your way. When you're aligned on something as fundamental as your spiritual beliefs, it creates a solid support system that can weather any storm.
You’ll Set a Foundation for the Future
Whether you're discussing future plans or how you'll handle hypothetical situations, studying the Bible can align your visions for the future. Diving into these discussions with the guidance of your shared beliefs can really clarify where you both stand on key issues, from family values to career goals. It's like constructing a Christ-centered roadmap for your relationship.
