MARRIAGES & WEDDINGS (1)

(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.

When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.” And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.” And Abigail hurried and rose and mounted a donkey, and her five young women attended her. She followed the messengers of David and became his wife.
