V 3-5 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Notice, it is God who acts. He who is Light (1 John 1:55This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5)) says, "Let there be light". Light is the first thing that must characterize a courtship between two Christians—moral light. Because it is God who has said "Let there be light" this is a nonnegotiable issue for those who desire a happy, exciting and fulfilling romance. "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light" (Eph. 5:88For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (Ephesians 5:8)).
Don't get caught up in the wicked spirit of this world which makes heroes out of those whose lives are filled with corruption and filth-morality which God calls abomination. Such wickedness is no pattern for a godly romance for it is of the darkness, not the light.
As you find yourself beginning to seriously date another believer always remember that your Father wants your courtship to be characterized by light. We read that "God saw the light that it was good". He is watching (with a tender, loving Father's eye) over all that takes place in your romance. Don't allow any actions in your courtship which cannot stand the full light of His loving presence. "Thou God seest me" (Gen. 16:1313And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? (Genesis 16:13)).
