Daily Walk Through the New Testament

April 29
Read Matthew 19:1-26

Marriage is the first covenant relationship God established between man & woman. It is the foundational relationship of civilization. Since the first union in the garden of Eden, fallen humans have sought to change the priority, nature, and definition of marriage. God’s standard has not changed. Marriage is between one man and one woman. The goal of marriage is a “one flesh” relationship. That means an intimacy of heart, mind, and body.
Marriage is to be honored, upheld. Prized, and protected. If you are married, strive to stay married. If you are divorced, seek reconciliation, if possible. If you are going to get married, resolve to make it a lifetime commitment.
