True love is found between a man and a woman when there is a confirmation from God in the hearts of each of them (both of them) that God has led them to walk together and to serve Him. Note that God has built safeguards into the Church and the home to avoid pitfalls. A man or a woman who is consideration marriage, or even just dating, should be very cautious if the parents whom God has placed over them or the elders of the church whom God has placed over them have any reservations. God gives anointing for this purpose to all whom He sets in authority in His Body. The home is part of the Body of Christ. Satan, in the meantime, is throwing out every type of false signal to confuse the issue. If a man is looking for a woman or a woman is looking for a man, they will have trouble discerning the will of God. When both the man and the woman are seeking Jesus Christ, then God will take care of the leading. To avoid the leading of God or to try to follow ones own will instead of Gods will is the source of all human miseries. Love and faith are linked together. If you dont want to be deceived, then you need to keep your eyes open--spiritual eyes, that is. All wisdom comes from God. In fact, 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus Christ is our wisdom. Then, it tells us of the three components of wisdom, which are righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Whats that got to do with love? Righteousness is the working of love in the moment. Righteousness is always a free gift that comes by faith. Faith always comes by hearing God and acknowledging Him. Holiness comes as the result of allowing God to repeatedly do His righteousness through you, thinking His thoughts, saying His utterances, and doing His works. Holiness is love that you become as you are conformed to the pattern of Jesus Christ. Redemption is the freedom from that which is not love. It is freedom from our natural sinful nature and it comes from glory to glory along with holiness. At this point, we should establish a basis for knowledge then define the terms, love and faith. If we dont do that, everything will be confusing.
