Diana Ross and Lionel Richie released one of history’s most famous songs when they sang “Endless Love” in 1981. How many times have we heard it at weddings! But endless love implies eternity, and that’s why it’s important to fall in love with someone who knows and loves the same Savior you do.

In Ezra 9, a difficult problem arose when some of the men married unbelieving women. When Ezra heard this, he fell on his knees and cried in confession and shame for his people. In the next chapter, others joined his confession of sin, and an effort was made to restore purity to the people of God.

God has called us to be in the world but not of it, and that principle applies to dating, love, and marriage. The best way to honor God after marriage is to honor Him before marriage. Every marriage begins with a first date, and it’s worth writing on the flyleaf of your Bible: “I make a commitment now that I’m not going to date anyone who doesn’t know the Lord.” He will bless you for it out of His true endless love.

Someone has paid for me with blood. How that knowledge lifts my sights beyond the moment’s hot desire.
