Boundary #1
The Person must be born again.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
The word “Yoke” means to be bound together in comment to one another. When two animals are yoked together and one turns left the other has to turn left. It is critical that you walk with people that are going in the same direction.
Boundary #2
The person must have the same commitment to sexual purity.
Ephesians 5:3
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
They must have had this commitment before you showed up…not because you showed up.
Boundary #3
The Person must respect you.
Does this person treat you with dignity, purity, honor, and respect? If not move on!
