COMPASS

Heinrich Heine, the German poet, essayist and literary critic said, “HERE’S TO MATRIMONY, THE HIGH SEA FOR WHICH NO COMPASS HAS YET BEEN INVENTED.”

The Bible says that marriage has been ordained of the Lord and is the oldest human institution.

There are of course several reasons for marriage, but one reason is to obey the command of God in Genesis 1:28. The Bible says also that Christians may only marry Christians. (Second Corinthians 6:14-17) Genuine love is essential to a happy marriage. Please read Ephesians 5:25 and Titus 2:4. Please read also what the Bible says in Exodus 20:14 about adultery. We can see the sanctity of marriage, when we see how God hates adultery. Matthew 19:8 teaches that divorce has not been in the original plan of God for humans. Matthew 19:6 says that marriage is a lifetime contract.

We must make the Lord Jesus Christ the Head of our home. He must be the Lord and Saviour of the home.

There is a compass for matrimony and that is the BIBLE.
