3 Bad Things Dating a Non-Christian Produces for a Christian

Here are 3 bad things that happen when a Christian and a non-believer get into a romantic relationship together.

1. They Become Unequally Yoked

Christians, by definition, are followers of Christ (Matthew 16:24, John 10:4-5). Non-believers, according to Jesus, are actually followers of Satan (John 8:44, Ephesians 2:2, 1 John 5:19).

Therefore, a true Christian and a non-Christian will always have strife together. If there is peace in a romantic relationship between an unbeliever and a believer, it means the believer is rebelling against God.

For as 2 Corinthians 6:14 states, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”

2. The Relationship Will Be Forced

Many Christians try to date an unbeliever to change them into a Christian. But trying to change someone so they are the person you want them to be is selfish.

Additionally, someone who becomes a Christian so they can date a Christian oftentimes falls away later on because their conversion was not genuine.

You can’t force a relationship to be something it’s not.

3. The Christian Will Fall Into Sin

1 Corinthians 15:33, “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’”

I impulsively got into an ungodly relationship. He said he was christian but you guys must be AWARE OF COUNTERFEIT RELATIONSHIPS. DO NOT SETTLE FOR A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN. Focus on their fruit. Please run. Stop justifying it. God wants to give you the best partner for you. If you feel like you have to force it to be godly, it’s a no. God says no because He has something better, stop limiting His blessings. It broke my heart and caused me stress, please please Trust God.

I once dated an unbeliver. She ended up coming to the Lord. We ended up splitting up for other reasons, but I think this is why God let us meet. Also, it is not selfish to try and convert someone, on the contrary it is the same as trying to convert a freind or family member, you want them to go to heaven. I think you should talk about it, and don't get married if they still don't believe.

This woman I liked told me flat out to my face she did not believe in God. I stuck around because it was someone to hang out with but her morals were not good
God spoke to me through action, I refused to listen until I finally listened. Since then I’ve never felt better spiritually. God saved me from a disaster and potentially a life full of corruption. Praise our Lord and Savior Jesus!! 🙏

I had to cut off a potential relationship because I knew what God was telling me. The warning was so strong in my spirit that ignoring it would’ve been me lying to myself. There were emotional ramifications but Gods presence helped to deal with it. I don’t know what The Lord saw but it was better to trust him toward life then to walk into death.

I am unequally yoked with my girlfriend. We met just before or I was born again. It’s been not great since as I talk much more about Jesus and send her bible verses etc
I told her I can’t have sex anymore etc as I feel conviction in my sin.
I do love her, but feel I can’t marry her unless she turns to Jesus in her own heart. I can not change her, so best to walk away.

God's people intermarried with the Canaanites and this led them astray, it led them into idolatry and corruption, and it resulted in their losing the Promised Land.

I stopped dating after getting born again and vowed to God I will wait for his choice for me. It has been years now and I am still waiting. I have no regrets. It gets lonely sometimes but for the most part I have had a lot of growth in my knowledge of God, career front and personal self improvement because I have had to channel my focus to those areas. Also, I have come to enjoy being single and my relationship with God.

I dated a woman for 3 years who was a “believer” God put her in my path so that I learned a hard lesson because of that relationship I truly seek God after my break up.. post break up I attained a lot of wisdom and discernment from God.. I was overlooking the red flags because I loved her and put her on a pedestal…she knew scriptures left and right very knowledgeable and would teach me.. that’s how I got close to God… however post break up I learned that she didn’t apply any of the scriptures into her own life we were both blind leading the blind… being unequal yoked can be applied in general even as believers who truly are not applying and living the word of God. Imagine now dating someone who doesn’t believe I would think it would even much more challenging and would be a harder break up. God bless everyone… stay in the word and God will put the right person.

This is so true. I am a believer. I am not a go to church every week try of person, but my mother gave me a foundation as a child, the the whole sunday school and all. My ex waa a non believer in christanity since she was brought up muslem. Everything was fine in the marriage until problems came up and we had a different approahed for things that we didn't see eye to eye. I couldn't make her have faith and believed that if you prayed on the problem, things will get better. She didn't believe in that. She had not faith, and destroyed our marriage because of no faith. The statement is correct. Don't marry soneone who you are unequally yoked. When things get rough, they won't stand with you or have your back and pull with you.

Single but this is very insightful, and I don’t plan on dating non-believers. Even with Christians, i have seen ppl who are Christians going through divorces so don’t just find anyone who go to church. Look at their values and their fruits.

[cindeed]

God will give you discernment as to whom to date and not date. Listen to him and heed his warnings. They are never wrong.

[gaylechristensen]

This may be true scripture, but my husband is not a believer. Our relationship is amazing and he respects my faith. I pray without ceasing for God to save my family.

DO NOT DO IT! I REPEAT DONT DO IT! It aint going to work.

[christineceralde]

This video convicted me. That I was ashamed of God. Everytime, I didn’t reveal god to anyone or speak of god it’s because I was honestly ashamed. If there was an argument between me and another person, and I chose to sin and get angry instead of letting the Holy Spirit inhabit me and speak on his word it’s because I was ashamed. I’m so sorry Jesus. AMEN 🙏 POWER AND GLORY ETERNALLY TO JESUS CHRIST

[Turtleo]

The word is true and confirmed for me through reality and Gods protection. I fell back into sin with my non believer (Muslim) he didn’t fight for our love and it was one sided no forgiveness in his heart. His way or the high way. I also couldn’t speak boldly about my God we were never in agreement about the truth of Life that being Jesus because Jesus is the way the truth and the life. I am truly sorry and my heart and filled with praise for Jesus because I could have been sucked in further down the rabbit hole 😢 Amen

I just broke up yesterday :-) honestly the guy I've been dating was amazing we loved each other a lott we may be young for all this but we really did love each other he was the best boyfriend anyone could ask for but he was non christian. Idk for some days it was bothering me sm about dating him and i am also gonna get baptized soon idk why I wanted to end the happy us. And yes I did . He understood how i felt. He told me he was hurt that we were parting ways for small reason. He also told me not feel sorry and wished me luck. My heart's been hurting since yesterday hope i did the right thing.

[Michael-mjhg]

Yup, I was taught this and knew better but I tried anyway. It left a deep sense of regret both because the relationship failed to go anywhere and because I wanted her soul saved.

"Do not be unequally yoked", wrote the Apostle Paul.

This was a reference to the folly and futility of harnessing a big, strong ox with a small, weak one.

[luccianalewis]

That s true. Dating non Christian is a waste of time and mental health.
