The Bible talks a lot about the glory of God, and Christian teachers will often say that we should “glorify God” with our lives. But what is God’s glory? What does it have to do with thinking like Jesus? And, how can we say God is loving when he commands us to glorify him? Isn’t that selfish?

In this final episode of the our “Learning to Think Like Jesus” podcast series, Scott will help you discover what God’s glory is and why it’s Jesus’ ultimate goal for every thought he ever had. And, Scott will help you see that God’s desire for glory isn’t selfish, but is for your ultimate good and joy.

How can you think like Jesus about dating?

While the Bible does not give commands or rules specifically about dating, Christians can honour God in their dating relationships by thinking like Jesus about dating.

1. Delight in God first

Every thought Jesus had was borne out of his love for the Father. So, if you want to think like Jesus about dating, you need to love God first and foremost when entering into dating.

This will help ensure that the love you direct toward a dating partner and potential future spouse will not be a selfish love. After all, the two greatest commandments imply that true love for another necessarily flows from our true love for God. (Matt. 22:36-40)

2. You need the Holy Spirit

Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit’s empowerment to:

- Love God first and foremost

- Practise patience and self-control when faced with sexual desire and deciding whether or not someone is a good choice as a spouse

3. Seeing the future as God sees it

Jesus saw everything through the lens of the Grand Story of the Bible. This means that your choice of a spouse should line up with God’s eternal priorities for marriage.

A few of these priorities include you and your future spouse…

- becoming united together with Christ (1 Cor. 6:14-15)

- growing together in holiness (Eph. 5:21-33)

- raising godly offspring, if you start a family (Eph. 6:4)

4. Glorify God with your Body

Just prior to going to the cross, Jesus prayed: “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,” (John 17:1)

He prayed this prayer because the goal of everything Jesus thought and did was to glorify God.

In the same way, thinking like Jesus about dating includes accepting that your body and your sexuality is not your own. It belongs to God.

And so, as the Apostle Paul says, “Glorify God with your body.” (1 Cor. 6:20)

Many Christians think the Bible is a list of rules, or a collection of theological truths that should be understood and believed. While the Bible certainly has these things, did you know that the Bible is something more? It’s actually one big story! And, understanding it will change the way you see everything.

In this episode of the our “Learning to Think Like Jesus” podcast series, Scott unpacks the Grand Story of the Bible and shows how understanding it will help you think like Jesus and live in perspective of God’s unfolding story.
