Grace for your spirit January 16, 2008

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Matthew 19:6

The Biblical marriage relationship is not a contract between a man and a woman that can be altered or broken at will. The Biblical marriage is a covenant promise that we make with God and one another when we take the vows of marriage. Many call on God to join them and then call on a lawyer to separate them. That is exactly what Jesus said not to do. Lots of couples want to invite God to the wedding ceremony, but don’t wish to have Him in the marriage. When we wish to make a worldly marriage contract with the intention of altering or breaking it at will, leave God out of it. He wants no part of that kind of deal. Covenants are lived, not broken.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
