The Creation of Marriage, Part 7 – YouTube
Show Notes:
Can we vow to our spouse that we will keep ourselves free from all vice and addictive behavior? It is such a negligence if we take marriage vows today and leave this out.
Made in the image of God, man is a triune being: spirt, soul, and body. There is an issue when people stop taking care their whole person. It is crucial within marriage that we maintain what God has given us and not neglect to take care of our spirit, soul, and body.
We need to understand that in Christianity people are God’s dwelling place. God bought your physical body through the price of His Son.
There are many who are married yet are destroying the temple of God. In marriage, we are two enmeshed into one. People are destroying their homes because they are destroying themselves through feeding their vice.
There is so much healing for the mind and emotions afforded to us in Jesus Christ. It is not just forgiveness of sin; but it is healing. God wants to heal your spirit, soul, and body. There’s freedom to be found in deliverance and discipline.
We must get to the point where our mind, will, and emotion are subjected to God’s Word.
Christ, our Righteousness, has fulfilled all the righteousness of the law so we can cease from our labor to be right with God and live in total rest. As we can discipline ourselves to still our minds, be still with God, we then allow God to use the quietness to speak into your soul.
It is so vital in our marriages for us to be able to walk together, free of vice and sin, eat good food that we use for fuel to do good works for the glory of God. Where we can look at the end of the week and say, “It was good,” take off our labors, let the soul heal and refresh, and rest.
