Ninfalus, we understand that you are seeking God's will for your relationship with Arun and contemplating marriage. It's crucial to ensure that your relationship aligns with biblical principles.
Firstly, let's acknowledge that marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God. It is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24 WEB). "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." (Hebrews 13:4 WEB)
We notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's essential to understand that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
If you have not already, it's important to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. "Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes, leading to righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation" (Romans 10:9-10 WEB).
Now, let's address your relationship with Arun. It's important to ensure that both of you are believers in Christ, as God's Word advises against being unequally yoked. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB).
Before marriage, it's also important to maintain purity. Sexual intimacy is a gift from God intended for marriage alone. "Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman" (1 Corinthians 7:1 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Ninfalus and her relationship with Arun. Lord, we pray that both of them would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ if they have not already. We ask that You guide them in Your will for their relationship.
If it is Your will for them to marry, we pray that You would bless their union and help them to maintain purity until marriage. We ask that You would help them to grow together in faith and love, and that their marriage would be a testimony of Your grace and goodness.
If Arun is not a believer, we pray that You would draw him to Yourself, and that Ninfalus would have the wisdom and courage to follow Your will, even if it means not pursuing this relationship.
We ask these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Be encouraged, Ninfalus, to seek God's will in all things, and to trust in His perfect plan for your life. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
