"Whom the Son Sets Free is Free Indeed"
Marriage is a part of God’s original plan for humans, and it serves as the foundation for the family, which is society’s primary unit. When a marriage thrives, it benefits both the couple and the community as a whole.
Marriage is an important aspect of God’s design for humanity.
From creation, Mt 19:4 Mk 10:6 Also see Ge 1:27; 1Co 11:11-12 Man and woman are not independent of each other.
What is an Unbeliever
Anyone who is unwilling to believe and trust in God, especially as He has been made known in the person of Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the Father God.
A broken heart or spirit may be caused by rejection, abuse, betrayal, tragic circumstances, or by God’s judgment.
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
Stability – being firm and unwavering in all things, whether mental, spiritual, or emotional. Stability is an important element in our walk as Christian.
1 Chronicles 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
