happiest couple
Romans 16:3-5
Today is couple's day. As we celebrate Couple's Sunday, I pray in the name of the Lord that all of you will be a happy couple.
God made us humans male and female, and God directly mediates and officiates to become a married couple. There is a reason why God made a man and a woman marry and become a couple. The first is that the two are united. Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
Here, unity is not a one-time thing, but a continuous process. Because we grew up in different families, so we have different personalities and different styles of life, being one doesn't mean becoming one without any effort immediately after marriage. So, when we say union, we don't just mean physical union. It means becoming one spiritually, becoming one personally, and becoming one physically.
The word “union” here has the meaning of putting two together by applying glue. Therefore, after a couple is united and united, what is divided is torn in the common sense. When they are torn, they injure each other immensely. Second, the reason men and women married and became a couple was to help each other live.
God didn't see Adam being alone, so he made a woman and brought her to Adam because he didn't have a partner to help him. And they got married and became a couple. To help each other is to fill each other's gaps. Therefore, it is maturing.
Ladies and gentlemen, young people these days don't want to get married, but you have to get married to become a mature person. An unmarried person is not considered an adult. You have to get married to become an adult. Third, the reason why they married and became a couple is to inherit God's blessings. God created us, blessed us, and told us to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. This is to have children and inherit the blessings of God.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a reason Christianity is being eaten by Muslims in Europe. It's not that people in Europe don't have many children. However, Muslims had many children. And when they get married, both their wives and their children become Muslims. As a result, Christianity in Europe declined and Muslims took over.
Our country is also serious. The Korean population has reached a crisis of extinction as a Korean people. Therefore, the number of multicultural families is increasing now. There are a lot of Muslims here. If the Christian population decreases and the Muslim population increases, social chaos will come. To prevent this, we Christians must get married and have many children to inherit God's blessings. The fourth is the embodiment of heaven. What God allowed us to create a family through marriage is to realize the kingdom of God and expand the kingdom of God through the couple.
Ladies and gentlemen, the ultimate goal of our Christian life is to establish the kingdom of God and expand the kingdom of God.
The couple Priscilla and Aquila introduced in today's text are a couple devoted to realizing the kingdom of God and expanding the kingdom of God. They are the happiest couple. No, we can say that they are the most ideal Christian couple.
As we celebrate Couple's Sunday today, I would like to share the grace with you by speaking under the title of the happiest couple.
Ladies and gentlemen, I say that Priscilla and Aquila are the happiest couple because they shared the same life goals, meaning of life, and values of life. In other words, these couples can be said to be one in Christ.
Gentlemen, the reason we Christians should not marry non-Christians is that we cannot be one. Faith is not a religious life. Faith is that Christ rules and governs my life. Therefore, when you become a couple with a person of faith, you must have the same thoughts, the same heart, the same vision, and the same goals, meaning of life, and values of life. Only then can they become a happy couple.
Priscilla and Aquila, who are introduced in today's text, at first, her husband Aquila heard the gospel through the apostle Paul and believed in Jesus. And his wife Priscilla also believed in Jesus and the two married men became people of faith. Above all, these two couples experienced God's amazing love and came to know the value of the gospel. Therefore, they became people who lived for the gospel, for the Lord, for the apostle Paul.
Priscilla and Aquila have a clear common goal. They were able to become the happiest couple because they had a clear goal of exalting God together, preaching the name of Christ, and living for the glory of God for His kingdom.
Today, in our church, we will raise church officers through voting. The church lay leaders should know the value of the gospel and build up workers who can devote themselves and be loyal to the church, the body for the gospel. So last week we prayed that we may become worthy servants of the Lord with the theme, become a person of faith, become a person of prayer, become a person of the Holy Spirit, become a person of obedience, become a person of devotion and loyalty. A lay leader must become a person of faith. You must be a person of prayer. You must be a person of the Holy Spirit. You must be a person of obedience. And you must be a person of dedication and loyalty. Because we must be worthy servants of the Lord. Therefore, it is essential to obtain the consent of the couple in establishing a middle office.
In order to get your spouse's consent, it must first be those who the couple recognizes as worthy of the position. My wife sees it and my husband is not qualified for a middle position. You have to think about it and agree to it. Also, my husband sees my wife as unqualified. It cannot be done without thinking and consenting.
A certain pastor's husband and wife always had a fight. One time, the wife said that she would go up to the pulpit and live. Because you are a pastor at the pulpit, but not a pastor at home.
When you are recognized in your family, you can be recognized by everyone. However, if you do not receive recognition at home, there are many problems.
Men have strong self-esteem. According to one survey, the number one thing men need most from their wives is self-esteem. Husbands want their wives to respect them. That is the husband's great desire. What a husband hates most is being ignored by his wife. The second is sexual desire. The third entertainment companion. The fourth was the object of pride and the fifth was a faithful wife to the family.
Proverbs says that a virtuous woman sits her husband at the gates. A wife makes her husband an elder and an ordained deacon.
The first thing a wife needs from her husband is security. So the husband must be able to support the family. Second, expression of affection, third, dialogue, fourth, financial support, and fifth, responsibility for the family. A man has to work to feed his family.
In our church, there are many good couples of faith like Aquila and Priscilla Priscilla and Aquila. There are many couples who devotedly serve the body of the church. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, Aquila and Priscilla not only become co-workers with the apostle Paul. They were exemplary people to the saints as well. The Apostle Paul said, They gave their lives for my life, and not only me but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks to them. said
dear ones
Priscilla and Aquila are the happiest couple because they believe in the gospel, know the value of the gospel, and live for the gospel. Therefore, those who do not have a husband can live the happiest life because Jesus is the bridegroom and they become the bride of Jesus who loves me the most, knows me best and is my companion. There can be no greater bridegroom than Jesus.
I pray in the name of the Lord that you all have the blessing of enjoying the happiest family, the happy couple, and the happy life because of Jesus.
