The Creation of Marriage, Part 2 – YouTube
Show Notes:
Marriage is a created entity of God. If we are going to talk about the creation of marriage, we need to start at creation. We have to build our case for creation so we can see the power of God in the marriage covenant.
By faith we believe that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that the things we see were made by things that do not appear. The things we see were spoken into existence by the Word of God.
The sun, moon, and stars were created on Day 4 of creation, so on Day 1 when God said, “Let there be light,” what was the light God created? The light was the life of Christ revealed.
At the very beginning of creation, God revealed to the host of heaven that in the fullness of time He would slay His Son. This is the light of the world. It has nothing to do with the sun, moon, or stars. It has everything to do with the spiritual revelation of Christ crucified.
Marriage belongs to God. For one man and one woman for one lifetime. When hard times come, it is a stabilizing factor to remember we are created beings under a Creator.
If you can’t have faith in a Creator, you will have a struggle in your home and marriage. You have to see life and marriage as way bigger than yourselves.
We get so caught up in the makeup of the earth that we lose sight of the foundational principles that made it, set it in order, and uphold that order – all by the Word of God’s power. He wants to uphold your life and marriage by the same Word of His power. He wants to fix your marriage. He wants to fix you and your spouse first, put you two together, and get you where your home brings glory to God.
If you will begin to seek God diligently for your home, He can fix whatever condition your home is in. He can repair it. It will require divine change.
If we are going to have a marriage that fulfills God’s intended purpose, God’s created purpose for marriage, it’s going to have to start with two people who are in the spiritual new birth.
When something goes wrong in marriage, start here. What’s wrong with your spiritual life? Have you let things slip? How’s your prayer life? How’s your time in the Word of God? How’s your fellowship?
The recreation of man is so important. As fallen men, we need to be recreated in Christ Jesus. The revealing of Jesus Christ is the light we should walk in. It’s the only light that can bring us new life. This is how we save and heal marriage. It starts with two redeemed individuals.
If we settle this issue, we will see marriages heal. If we settle this issue, we’ll see those who are living together repent and get married. If we settle this issue, we will see many who are in perversion repent and get back to their created purpose of male and female.
1 John 1:7 – “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” God’s light allows us to have relationship with one another. Transparency. Openness. Clarity. No darkness. No secrets. If we can’t communicate, something is very wrong.
Do you have communion with your spouse? Do you have fellowship with your spouse? Or do you just coexist? Do you just talk soulish? Is there spiritual communion? Is there joy in your home?
If He can fix this whole world and create it with the Word of His power, what can He do with your world? He can change your life!
Consider the power of light. The speed of light. The life in light. Everything in this earth is dependent on light shining on it. Especially your relationships.
