Do we only mean marriage when we talk about shackles here? What is the meaning of marriage (especially the spiritual meaning)?
What hope does God have for his people and children?
The "yoke" of God's people is God's mission to us-to love the soul, preach the gospel, sanctify the disciples of all peoples, train believers to establish churches, be alert and wait for the Lord's return, and be completely redeemed!
As a Christian, can you fulfill God's mission and do God's will with unbelievers? Can you work with unbelievers and with God?
If your marriage is only to satisfy your own wishes and needs, and you don't put it in the hands of the Lord, you don't want to honor the name of the Lord as a witness in your marriage, you don't want to serve the Lord's heart with your other half through marriage and family, and you don't want to raise godly children, then what's the meaning of "believing and not believing can't bear the same yoke" for you? How important is God's thought and will to you? Isn't your need and satisfaction more important than God's mind and will? Tang Chongrong:
Can I marry a non-Christian?
A: Who you want to marry is your freedom, but marriage is the biggest responsibility, the biggest happiness and the biggest crisis.
The Bible says that belief and unbelief cannot be combined. For this reason, you should be careful.
If you say: personality and preferences, a lot of things are in line, and we really have love, can't we get married? I'm telling you, if you've been married for a while, you should know that everyone who gets married advertises: we hit it off, but when we get divorced, we don't hit it off. So be careful. Lacrimosa had better think twice in the future. Let faith in God and * * * be the foundation of your union and family.
"Faith and unbelief cannot bear the same yoke". Is this suitable for marriage? What if you fall in love with a non-Christian?
Answer: Marriage is the most intimate, lasting, serious, responsible and dangerous social activity among all social activities, and the individual is temporary and eternal. So don't be casual. It's not that a marriage with or without faith will not have a good result. If a Christian who truly understands the principles of the Bible loves the other person so much that he can't leave, he thinks that your love must come from God, and he should show affection in any case and stop at the ceremony. The first circle is just friends, the second circle is bosom friends, and the third circle is lifelong friends. Before preaching the gospel to the other party, I really think he has made progress in God's grace. It is best not to get married until he receives the life of Christ. Although this serious, cautious and respectable life love is not easy to accept, he will respect you from the bottom of his heart.
I would like to ask, "Faith and unbelief can't bear the same yoke", does that mean that faith and unbelief can't get married? Is that correct? Nowadays, there are more sisters than brothers in the church. If so, do most sisters have to prepare for celibacy?
A: My church has many brothers, probably because my sermon is more suitable for men. If the podium only emphasizes sensibility, not rationality, and there is no gospel and spiritual scope of cultural mission, then men don't like to listen. God not only entrusts us with evangelical mission and spiritual teaching, but also entrusts us with social responsibility, the pursuit of knowledge and the analysis of the world situation. Therefore, both men and women should be taught the truth from God's Word.
"Belief and unbelief cannot bear the same yoke" is the most stringent requirement, and the believer should marry faith, because religious belief is the most basic and dominant concept among all concepts; Wrong and different religious concepts will lead to disharmony in many other aspects of life, and the result is very dangerous. Religion needs absoluteness and faith. If we compromise in this respect, our life together will be very painful. The phrase "belief and unbelief bear the same yoke" can also be put in marriage, but what if someone is weak or her parents force her to get married and she ends up marrying an unbeliever? God will give you a lot of tolerance and continuous help, but maybe you will experience a period of Lacrimosa, and you will face a period of mental pain. But it is very likely that in the end, because of your great patience and witness, you are willing to suffer and hold the truth for Christ, and as a result, your husband will convert to the Lord one day. This day may be before you die, or it may be a second before you die. He accepted the Lord. Therefore, we especially pray for those who are weak and can't keep this rule and marry unbelieving sisters. Please give her a brave witness. God knows that we are weak, but don't always be willing to be weak just because we are weak.

1. Fall in love with non-Christians
Q: Can Christians marry non-Christians? If a pair of young men and women, after they fall in love, one of them believes in the Lord, then do they have to part? Complete the words in Cor. 6: 14 refers to the combination of men and women?
A: Christians should not combine with unbelievers. The Bible clearly commands: "You are incompatible with unbelievers, so don't be yoked together." (6: 14). Although this passage is not specifically about the combination of men and women, it is undoubtedly very suitable for the combination of men and women. Because its so-called "matching", "yoking", "intersecting" and "communicating" already contains the truth of husband and wife's combination. There are also many verses in the Old Testament that God doesn't like his voters to marry foreign women. Such as: Wang Shang11:7 ~ 8; La 9: 1 ~ 4， 10: 1 ~ 15； Ni 13: 23 ~ 27. Therefore, according to the teaching of the Bible, there is no doubt that Christians should not be combined with non-Christians.
Love seems to have nothing to do with faith, but it has a lot to do with it, because the last day of love is marriage, and marriage is the beginning of husband and wife's common life; And * * * is closely related to life * * * and faith. If you have different beliefs, you will inevitably hold different opinions on living habits, hobbies, ways of doing things, parenting and other matters. These are different. I don't think they hurt each other's feelings during their love. But after marriage, in the long life of husband and wife, it often becomes a factor that destroys family happiness; Therefore, the combination of different beliefs not only goes against the Bible lessons, but also is imperfect in real life.
As for men and women who are already in love, if one of them believes in the Lord, he should make the greatest determination to lead the other to believe in Christ before marriage, otherwise he will take the road that requires the greatest sacrifice and give up the person you think is lovely.
2. Christians and non-Christians get married
Q: Can Christians marry non-Christians? There are two young people in love, one who believes in the Lord and the other who doesn't. What should Christians do if they believe in God?
A: The command in the Bible that Christians should not be combined with non-Christians is very clear: "You are incompatible with unbelievers, so don't be yoked together; What do just people and unjust people have in common? What is the connection between light and darkness? What is the agreement between Christ and Belial? What do believers and non-believers have in common? " (2 after the forest. 6: 14 ~ 15) So there is no doubt that Christians should not marry non-Christians. Moreover, every Christian must strictly abide by this principle when choosing a spouse, so as not to offend God in marriage.
As for the young people who are already in love, and one of them believes in the Lord, then believers have only two choices: 1. Guide each other to believe in God before marriage. 2. Give up reluctantly.
