Lesson
9: The Disciple’s Marriage 1
Main
Text: Genesis 2:18-25
Memory
Verse: Gen. 2:18
Introduction
Christian marriage is a covenant relationship in
which a man and a woman are united together as one in order to accomplish God's
purpose for their lives. (Genesis 2:24). The first institution God gave man was
the institution of the family. God after creating everything and man in his own
image, realized that it was not good for man to be alone. Though he brought the
animals to man to name, yet none was found to be suitable for man. God created
Eve (a helper suitable to Adam) for man and blessed their union. Man was
excited with God’s choice and exclaimed ‘this is now bone of my bone and flesh
of my flesh’-Gen. 2:23. God then established pattern of the marriage
institution forever-leaving, cleaving, one flesh.
When Christian couples understand this basic
foundation, marriage would fulfill the desired purpose of God-companionship.

I'm glad about these publications of Gods unadulterated word on the e-media. There's also the need to create enough awareness about it. Its a possible overwhelming soul winning and life changing tool. You could as well add the Chairman's video teaching on these Topics through Utube. God bless the managers of this page.
