More on the family. Marraige is honorable.



Marriage is instituted by God, and biblically understood it is one of the most glorious pictures of the gospel given to us; the picture of Christ being married to us. Of course if marriage is abused, as it often is, it presents a false gospel to us and our children.  So…are you happy and thankful in your marriage?!  We are glad that Christ is happy and thankful to have us as his wife  
        
Notice Hebrews 13:4.  First, this verse is in the context of the gospel. Because we who have come to Mt. Zion, and to Jesus, and the New Covenant, and to the Kingdom of God (Heb 12:22-28), we have our thinking set straight…including how we look at marriage, including specifically our marriage.  Scripture says let marriage be held in high honour, as precious, as greatly prized. 
Marriage is an honorable state before God, and as we honour it in faith even the marriage bed does not make it dishonorable!
