Everyone aspires to find true love, but is it feasible? Is choosing the right person a matter of luck, or can it be done in a calculated manner?
True love may not be what one person defines as such and may not be what another describes. A few characteristics and actions come along with finding real love.
Bible Verses About Finding True Love
You must have a precise grasp of love through God’s perspective to avoid becoming caught up in some twisted definition of love when people search for it.
The Bible is filled with wisdom and guidance on love and relationships. Here are the Top 25 Bible scriptures that offer insight into finding true love:
Psalm 37:4 – Delight In The Lord
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 ESV
To delight in the Lord is to take full advantage of all the benefits He offers since they are from Him and not just for our use.
It is said that one who takes pleasure in the Lord treasures the Giver more than His gifts.
God will provide you with your heart’s wishes; therefore, He will do so if you want to be married and experience love.
Love will come after, and your only task is to take pleasure in the Lord first.
1 Corinthians 10:13 – Overcoming Temptation
No temptation that is not common to man has overtaken you. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide a way of escape so that you can endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
God will never expose us to a temptation that we cannot resist because he will give us the strength to fight it through perseverance.
We may have to fight, but we do so in God’s strength. A temptation may need to be endured until its conclusion, but God is dependable.
God will give us the strength to endure when we are tempted to overestimate the grace of Christ for our benefit, the benefit of the church, and his glory.
1 John 4:7 – Love Is From God
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7 ESV
Because love is from God, believers are required to love one another. One of the advantages of having a solid relationship with Jesus Christ is the capacity to behave compassionately toward others.
This should inevitably lead to that person developing a close relationship with God. As a result, that person comes to “know” God.
Without being born again, one cannot truly love God. Furthermore, without the love of God, no one can truly love others. Those who show godly love bear witness to their salvation.
John 14:27 – Do Not Be Afraid
Peace I leave with you; the peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 14:27 ESV
All believers who love and live for Christ are assured of eternal glory and the genuine peace of God by this scripture.
The inner peace or tranquillity in your heart despite difficulties is the peace that Jesus refers to in this passage.
It is independent of your situation and does not remove fears or anxieties, but it does give you the capacity to persevere with a firm belief that God will see you through.
Genesis 2:24 – They Shall Become One Flesh
A man shall leave his Father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 2:24 ESV
If you’re looking for love, know that you and he will separate from your mother and Father and start a new family when you find it.
So, if you’re looking for love, it’s probably not a good idea to date a man still living at home with his parents without any exit strategy.
A man needs to be mature when looking for love, not still be a man-child who is occasionally half-child and sometimes half-adult.
Find a man who can accept a wife and has his life in order.
Proverbs 18:22 – Favour Through Love
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22 ESV
To look for love, you don’t have to radiate the scent of desperation. You will discover love when the time is right.
A godly husband is truly a blessing. A man will have a blessed marriage and God’s gift if he loves the Lord and chooses a bride who loves the Lord.
Whether married or not, we are obligated to exalt God in whatever we do.
Proverbs 31:10 – An Excellent Wife Is Precious
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Proverbs 31:10 ESV
The godly qualities of such an upright woman are beyond our ability to reach since all the deeds of the flesh, whether good or bad, resulting from the fruit of the old sinful nature and are disapproved of by the Lord.
However, a person who aspires to holiness and virtue, grace and goodness can only produce these spiritual fruits through the force of Christ’s indwelling life.
Colossians 3:5 – Avoid Sexual Sin
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Colossians 3:5 ESV
First and foremost, believers are to avoid sexual immorality. Premarital sex, infidelity, homosexuality, or deviant sexuality like bestiality are examples of this.
Passions are unsuitable urges that draw our attention away from the things above and tempt us to engage in immoral and unclean behavior.
Evil desire probably refers to the desire for immoral items or sexually inappropriate wants.
Proverbs 5:18-19 – Rejoice In The Wife Of Your Youth
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.
Proverbs 5:18-19 ESV
Even as we pray for joyous happiness in Christ to fill your soul, if you’re single, may he guide you to marriage or remain single for his glory.
Even if you are single, I want to encourage you to pray for the marriages around you, for husbands and wives to be intoxicated with one another in love.
And for this to protect you from the enemy’s attempts to divert your love, affections, delight, and joy away from this marriage relationship and toward someone else.
Psalm 140:1-2 – A prayer For Help
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually.
Psalm 140:1-2 ESV
This psalm encourages God’s people to pray to Him in times of need when evil people are oppressing them.
In the circumstances like this, we can rely on His promises to uphold the just. In the end, His destruction of the wicked will exalt His name and provide deliverance to His own.
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25-26 ESV
God used the phrase I AM to refer to Himself. This affirms the absolute, necessary, and eternal existence of God. Christ’s resurrection guarantees eternal life.
The wellspring of this is God; we will live as well because He lives. He defeated death.
Everlasting life, which started at the moment of belief, will not be interrupted by the temporary separation of the soul and body at death.
John 14:1-4
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; also believe in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am, you may also be. And you know the way to where I am going.”
John 14:1-4 ESV
We don’t know what disease, demise, or catastrophe will occur tomorrow or in ten years.
But we take comfort in knowing that Jesus has provided us with enough information to see us through life’s challenges.
It doesn’t imply that we won’t make mistakes or that our trust won’t waver, but it does mean that all will work out in the end, that our faith will deepen, and that God will keep his promises.
It is a blessing to know that God has made, and in some ways still makes, a home for his people.
Matthew 19:5
And said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Matthew 19:5 ESV
Jesus demonstrates that God established marriage from the beginning of existence. It is a feature of both the male and female forms of humanity.
Marriage is the uniting two persons into one flesh, more than two people joining forces to navigate life together.
This occurs partly because of sexual activity and the bond established by marriage.
1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love.
1 John 4:7-8 ESV
All of God’s action is filtered through love. God cannot act unloving since that is who He is. He is love.
Love comes from God. One of the advantages of having a solid relationship with Jesus Christ is the capacity to behave compassionately toward others.
Without being born again, one cannot truly love God. Furthermore, without the love of God, no one can truly love others. Those who show godly love bear witness to their salvation.
Galatians 3:5
Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—
Galatians 3:5 ESV
Knowing that a person is justified by faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works of the law,
we have also believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ alone and not by works of the law, for the results of the law shall explain no flesh.
Bible Verses about Finding a Husband
As Christians, we need to pray for the men God has for us, not just when we are married to them but even before we even meet them.
Starting in God’s Word is a terrific approach to praying for your future spouse, and if you don’t know where to start or are tired of waiting, praying scripture is a great place to start.
Finding a husband is only one of the many life lessons and advice in the Bible. The following passages should be kept in mind when looking for a husband:
Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.Genesis 2:18(KJV)
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.James 1:17(KJV)
No matter how challenging, every circumstance is a gift intended to benefit us in this life and the next.
Those who fail to grasp this run the risk of thinking of God as a changeable being. They believe that one day God will be merciful to them and bless them with lovely gifts.
therefore a husband is a good gift,
Proverbs 18:22
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the LORD.Proverbs 18:22(KJV)
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.1 Samuel 16:7(KJV)
Proverbs 13:20
Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm
proverbs 13:20
Another great way to boost your prospective husband in prayer before meeting him is to pray for his friends and community.
Be in prayer for the types of people he chooses to be around. Pray they will positively influence him, share his beliefs, and strive to uphold Christ in their interactions.
Be in prayer that he is a part of a healthy church community and has a network of friends to whom he can turn for support or prayer.
Who knows, maybe someday those friends you are currently praying for will also become your friends.
Colossians 3:19
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.Colossians 3:19(KJV)
Men are expected to be soft, caring, and caring with their wives. Men are supposed to run the household.
However, being an aggressive or harsh husband is not acceptable in the Bible. Furthermore, nothing in this passage implies that men are inherently better than women;
On the contrary, a healthy marriage should uphold the same kind of equality with submission found in the Trinity.
Genesis 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his Father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.Genesis 2:24(KJV)
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.Hebrews 13:5(KJV)
The Lord will provide for everything we require for a life based on faith.
Many obedient believers have endured terrible financial difficulties and even passed away from diseases like thirst, exposure, and worse.
Not due to a lack of faith but because they died that way.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11:6(KJV)
God is more concerned with our faith, attitude, and trust in Him than with our deeds.
This does not diminish the significance of our actions. Instead, our actions are a direct reflection of our beliefs.
Faith is necessary for those who seek to please God, not only for agreement or even hesitant participation.
1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.1 Timothy 5:8(KJV)
Responsibility spheres must be prioritized according to their hierarchical order. Take care of your requirements before moving on to your close family.
Failure in this regard would mean that our Father, God, who provides for our needs, has been gravely misunderstood.
His supply is crucial, especially from our family members, who have plenty to contribute.
Ecclesiastes 9:9
Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life.
Ecclestiastes 9:9
This verse is a gentle reminder to enjoy every moment together and be pleased and content with the person we select.
It serves as a reminder to treasure every moment of our relationship with our partner rather than taking it for granted.
Conclusion
Some people are so eager to find true love that they never stop considering God’s intention for them and are constantly willing to follow anyone.
If your style of life involves constantly wishing for anything or someone else, you may regret your decision.
These verses from the Bible about finding true love should have encouraged you and given you some solid guidance on what love is, what it isn’t, and what you should love for.
