How do we know that remaining unmarried is a valid choice for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible acknowledges that remaining unmarried can be a gift from God for those who can serve Him without distraction.

In 1 Corinthians 7:1-9, Paul discusses the choice between marriage and remaining unmarried. He acknowledges that God grants different gifts to His saints, including the gift of celibacy. Paul himself was unmarried and devoted to serving the Lord without the distractions that family life can bring. However, he also states that if one does not possess that gift, they should marry to avoid fornication. Thus, remaining unmarried is a legitimate path for those called to do so for the glory of Christ.
