GOD'S PLAN FOR MARRIAGE (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Marriage

a) The earliest use of the English word “marriage” dates back to the 13th century. Marriage by God’s design is the union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:18).  Some say that it is the ceremony (wedding) that makes the man and woman married;  God’s word tells us that it is the joining of flesh that makes the marriage (Genesis 2:24).  

Hosea 2:19
And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice,  in steadfast love and in mercy.

2. God’s Plan For Marriage 

Malachi 2:14,15  
But you say, “Why does he not?” Because the LORD was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

1 Corinthians 7:2 
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Hebrews 13:4 
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 


The End ...
