Is the New Definition of a "Good Relationship" Accurate?

Recently, I met a young man that holds an interest in me & has what many would say are good qualities. He is a college graduate, goal oriented, funny, and handsome... And honestly, a few years ago, that would have been enough for me to think to myself "He is a good enough candidate to be a boyfriend!"  I would've NEVER thought to ask about his belief in Christ. I would've gladly began a relationship with him.. A relationship I would've defended and granted the title: "Good Relationship"

However, since I have grown in the Word and asked Jesus Christ to renew my heart, obeying what is acceptable to Him and removing what isn't - I had to ask this young man about the Word of God and was his beliefs aligned with it. But he is not a man after God's own heart. He is very clear about his rebellion toward Jesus Christ, His Will for our lives and anything that it includes. This was a deal breaker for me. 



As this society has decreased in morality & substantial values, the definition of a "good relationship" has degenerated! In affect, we can agree that the NEW definition of a good relationship is lacking! The qualities that are sought in men and women are financial stability, ambition, level of physical attraction, nice, knows how to behave according to surroundings (etc etc etc)... With this being said, there is a quality that is more important than all of the above traits of a man/woman -put together.. Ironically, many overlook it, as I once would! When a man or woman follows the Will of God by way of Jesus Christ, all goodness will encompass that person's character. Ecclesiastes 4:4 tells us the vanities in having ambitions that outweigh our love for God. This includes seeking or molding and partaking in an ungodly rooted relationship.

What happens when this type of guy doesn't believe in, follow, or submit to The Will of The Most High? 
 

"Blessed are those that do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life. For without are dogs and sorcerers and whore-mongers and murderers and idolators and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" - Revelation 22:14&15

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" -Luke 12:34

"The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." - Psalms 53:1

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness" - 1 Corinthians 3:19

"Either make the tree good and his fruit good or the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit" - Matthew 12:33 & Luke 6:44


The Word is VERY clear about those that refuse His Word and Will! If you are someone that Loves the Lord Jesus Christ.. You cannot ride off into the sunset (proverbial) and be joined with someone that isn't a believer! The Lord's purpose by design is for the man to follow God (Proverbs 1:2-15) and through this, be a leader for the household.

"In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths" - Proverbs 3:6

"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen" - Jude 1:24&25

"Be ye not unequally yolked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" - 2 Corinthians 6:14

It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a "good relationship" without following The Perfect Will of The Most High God! So remember, the world's standards and qualities of what constitutes a good relationship are commandments of men.. But The Word of God should ALWAYS be weighed against the commandments of men, for it's the only acceptable standard and when followed, has proven itself to be RIGHT and WORTHY!
