God’s Gift of Marriage — 1 Peter 3:1-7

Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. [1 Peter 3:7]

Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind and the most significant human relationship in life. God uses the marriage relationship as the primary illustration to signify His love and faithfulness to His covenant people.

As marriage goes, so goes the family, the church, and society as a whole. Our generation has suffered greatly due to the breakdown of the family and the delegitimization of marriage in the culture. Fewer young couples are getting married in the West, and those that do get married are getting divorced at higher rates than ever.

We know how much God values marriage, as He created marriage in the beginning.

We also see how much our enemy, the devil, hates marriage and is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy families.

Here in 1 Peter, the Apostle teaches us profound truths about the significance and blessing of marriage in the eyes of God. Be sure to listen to my teaching below and please share to help me get the good news of the gospel to as many people possible.
