Hebrews
13:4
"Marriage
should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the
adulterer and all the sexually immoral." NIV
Marriage is
honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge."KJV
In a time when
over 50% of all marriages end in divorce and 63% of all couples live together
for a significant period of time before they marry, it appears marriage is not
held in very high esteem. God created marriage by making the male and the female
and divinely ordained it as a sacred covenant all at the beginning of mankind in
the Garden. Marriage is so sacred to God that He likens His Son as the groom and
the Church as His bride. How easy it is to enter into a marital situation, but
how seemingly impossible it is to stay committed and honor the marriage with
only God held in higher esteem. There is more impurity in marriages than some
would like to admit. Lustful thoughts, secret relationships, pornography, and
perversions that people minimize as not hurting anybody. Marriage is to be pure
and honored. Anything less will be under the judgement of Almighty
God.
Heavenly Father,
we are a society that has taken the honor and purity from marriage. Forgive us
and help us to make it the holy ordinance and commitment You intend it to be.
Create in us pure thoughts and intentions about our marriage and to honor our
mates above ourselves. In Jesus' name, Amen.
