(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Marriage
a) Marriage is honorable in God’s sight. It’s in the Bible, Hebrews 13:4, ESV. “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
b) God guards marriage through the seventh and the tenth commandments. It’s in the Bible, Exodus 20:14, 17, NKJV. “You shall not commit adultery.” “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
c) What is the only acceptable reason that Jesus gave for ending a marriage? It’s in the Bible, Matthew 5:32, NIV. “But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.”
d) How long is marriage intended to last? “Till death do you part.” It’s in the Bible, Romans 7:2, NKJV. “For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband..”
e) Marriage requires an attitude of humility and selflessness. It’s in the Bible, Philippians 2:3-4. NKJV. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
