That is an argument many spiritual leaders hear from singles looking for a partner. “He’s not a Christian, but he’s super sweet!” What is wrong with falling in love with a “good” atheist person?

When we tell someone that we are single, they often add: “Oh, so you are free”. A comment that sometimes makes us roll our eyes. Free? Free of what? Good question! Singles, what does our freedom mean?

Yes, we were freed from the law by the sacrifice of Jesus, but that does not mean that we can do whatever our impulses want. What does Christ’s freedom mean in the context of dating? We often hear the verse: “Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17 WEB) This passage is even sometimes sung in our churches. Indeed, Christ has freed us.
