God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

To exhort sinners to be saved by “Accepting Christ as their Saviour” without pressing upon them the imperative necessity of repentance is dishonest, and is to falsify God’s terms of salvation, for “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 17:3) is the Divine dictum. The sinner must either repent or perish, there is no other alternative. And since “All have sinned” (Rom. 3:23) all therefore need to “repent and believe the Gospel” (Mark 1:15) else they will be “punished with everlasting destruction” (2Thess. 1:9). To delay repentance then is most perilous.

Once you have examined your own heart, here are some questions to ask the other person from the start: 1. How does Jesus Christ occupy first place in your life? 2. What are your views on various biblical doctrines? 3. What does your time in the Word and prayer look like? 4. What do you look for in a good church? 5. Do you regularly attend church and how are you serving? 6. Do you have any accountability in your life? 7. Are you presently able to support yourself financially? 8. How do you enjoy spending your free time? 9. What is your meaning of headship and submission? 10. How do you spend your money? 11. How do you handle conflict? 12. What is your criterion for entertainment (movies, television, etc.)? 13. Do you have any addictions? 14. Do you exercise? 15. Do you have any major health concerns? Here are some questions to ask as the relationship advances and heads toward marriage: 16. Would you like to have children? When and how many? 17. How do you feel children should be educated and disciplined? 18. Would you like to rent or own a home? 19. How do you see yourself relating to your parents and in-laws? 20. How do you see yourself relating to people of the opposite gender? 21. When and how do you plan to do family devotions? 22. Who will be the primary breadwinner? Should the wife work outside the home?
