One Man, One Woman In Garden Of Holy Matrimony

My heartfelt desire is for people to know the truth. “Jesus told him, 'I am the Way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

“So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one.” (Genesis 2:24)

“But God shows His anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.” (Romans 1:14) From there God's Word goes on to list all the shameful things that people do. Its all in the book of Romans in the Bible and I hope everyone reads it.

There's good news too. God remains faithful, all people are sinners and Christ took our punishment. Believe that Jesus sacrificed His life for sinful people. Hip-hip-hooray! We are saved by faith in Jesus (the truth).

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of His wonderful grace? Of course not! “We live new lives.“ (Romans 6:1,2,3) And those who sincerely have this faith (which comes from God, so pray (ask) for it from Him), are as God's word says, “New people” (Romans 12:2).

Marriage. God's design is beautiful. One man, one woman in the garden in Holy Matrimony.

This Valentine's Day, I pray for married couples to sense how awesome it is to enjoy life together under the blessing of God's loving guidance. The first thing God organized during society's earliest days was marriage. We need to thank Him for how He designed this amazing institution. Marriage thrives in a climate of love, honor, and respect.

Happy Valentine's Day to married couples, young and old alike, and to my husband (sweetheart) of almost 48 years. God Bless you all.
