1. Creator of Marriage
Saturday, September 15th, 2007“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.” Colossians 1:16
The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it. The purpose of your marriage fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity. The purpose of your marriage is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. We must look at the original starting point in order to find something’s purpose.
We will be looking at the purpose of marriage and how we as women, we can influence our own marriages in the way that God had intended marriage to function. Contrary to what many popular books, movies, and seminars tell you, you won’t discover your marriage’s purpose by looking within yourself. You didn’t create marriage, so there is no way you can know why it was created. Only the creator (God) or the owner’s manual (the Bible) could reveal its purpose.
“We speak of God’s secret wisdom…a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:7
