Marriage According to God's Design, Part 2
November 15, 2023
The biblical pattern for marriage is so out of step with the world’s pattern. Wives and husbands are called to honour one another in complementary and distinctive ways—seeking the spiritual good of the other. We can see how the world’s approach breaks down, and how we need to look to the Maker’s design and pursue marriages that honour, not only one another, but the Lord.

We are called to be subject to government and to those in authority over us in the workplace. And we are to do that, not because they are necessarily good and respectable leaders who treat us well, but because we fear the Lord.

Abraham seeks to be faithful in finding a wife for Isaac from among his family (and not the surrounding nations) and in staying in the land of promise. God honours this in providing Rebekah for Isaac. Thus the family line is secured, and Abraham dies enjoying the blessing of God on every side. Despite all the ups and downs of his faith and failure, God has blessed him and his family, just as he promised.

Jesus is the cornerstone, and in him, we are being built up together to be a beautiful temple in which God lives by his Spirit. We were nothing—we were not a people—but in Christ we are part of something beautiful, holy, and new. As a new people, we are to live in newness and holiness, and we need to fight sin within, and keep our conduct honourable—so that God may be glorified in us.

The new birth that is ours through the Word of God leads to a new way of relating to one another—and the key mark of this is love. When pressure comes, the temptation is always to turn on those near and dear to us. But this must not happen with the people of God. We have been made new—and this new birth enables us to love one another with sincerity, from the heart.

Jesus has ransomed us from our former way of life through his own blood. Having ransomed us at such cost, the God of holiness calls us to be holy in our way of life. Pressure and opposition must not lead us to sin and to conformity with the world, but instead to radial holiness.
