Show Notes:

We’ve lost all Christian conviction about covenant because blood covenant is not appropriately taught from the pulpit. We need to understand, in the Christian home, that we are first submitted to Jesus Christ through a blood covenant. Then also, through a blood covenant, we are connected to our spouse. 

 

Both of these relationships are nurtured through communication. When we keep our hearts soft before the Lord, we can keep our relationships intact. Marriage vows should not be taken flippantly. 

 

Why doesn’t our Christianity translate into good relationships? If there’s any place the love of Christ should show up it’s in our home. 

 

God wants to bring peace into our home through divine order once we are first mutually submitted to Jesus Christ.  When we have a true spiritual covenant with God, we have forsaken all others.  We belong to Christ – us in Him and Him in us.  This is the unity of faith, and we should see the same devotion in the covenant of marriage.
