Old Testament
18. And Yahweh God said, It is not good for a man to be alone, so I will make a helper for him.
new testament
1. As for the matter you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman,
2. Every man shall have his own wife, and every woman shall have his own husband, in order to avoid fornication.
3. The husband shall do his duty to his wife, and the wife shall do the same to her husband.
4. A wife does not have dominion over her own body, only her husband does, and a husband does not have dominion over his own body in the same way, but his wife does.
5. Do not discriminate against each other, but by agreement for a while so that we may have time to pray, then join us again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6. But I am saying this by permission, not by command.
7. I want all men to be like me, but each has his own gift from God, one like this and another like that.
8. I say to the unmarried and the widows, it is better for you to remain alone with me.
9. If you cannot control yourself, marry. It is better for you to marry than for lust to burn with fire.
10. I command those who are married (I do not command, but give) A woman not to separate from her husband.
11. (If you are separated, stay with her or be reconciled to her husband again.) Neither the husband shall forsake his wife.
12. To the rest I say (this is not the command of the Lord), if any brother has an unbelieving wife and wants to live with her husband, do not forsake her.
13. If a woman has an unbelieving husband and wants to live with her, do not forsake her husband.
15. If anyone in the unbelievers diverge, let him diverge. Brothers and sisters have no concern over these things, but God has called you in peace.
16. Wife, how can you know whether you will save your husband, and husband how can you know whether you will save your wife?
17. But do as God has called each one, just as the Lord has distributed to each one, so I command in all the churches.
18. Has anyone been called to be circumcised, and not to be uncircumcised?
19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.
20. Let each one remain in the same calling to which he was called.
21. Do not worry whether you were called while you were a slave, but if you can be set free, use it.
22. Even if he who is called in the Lord is a slave, he is a free man belonging to the Lord; and in the same way, he who was called while he was a free man is a servant of Christ.
23. You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
24. Brethren, abide with God each one of you in the same way you have been called.
sermon
According to a survey by a Christian organization last week, the Korean church has the lowest credibility compared to other religions, and the cause is the immorality of the leaders. If the church is not like the church, it will not only lose credibility but will not be able to save the world. In that sense, the apostle Paul's message to the church in Corinth is the word that we will cherish deeply today.
1. Is your married life profane? : One of the social situations the Corinthian church was facing was that morals were being destroyed due to people's promiscuous sex lives. In response, some members of the church mistakenly view sexual life between husband and wife as sinful, teaching that in order to remain innocence, separation or divorce is necessary.
2. Can I get a divorce? : Other believers thought they should divorce their unbelieving spouses and marry Christians in order to better serve the Lord. But Paul makes it clear that marriage is a commitment.
Don't abandon your spouse. God's goal is to keep the marriage together even if one spouse is unbeliever.
3. Stay Called ( ): Another question they asked was, if a person came to believe in a job that did not honor God, would he or she should give up that job and get another job? Paul's answer is that you don't have to, keep that job. Because Christ transforms from within.
We want to live a life that is pleasing to Christ, so we need to realize what the core of our life guidelines is. This is because we can incorporate that truth into today's real life. Paul declares that we are the things of God, bought with a price. So you shouldn't be a slave to people.
Marriage, divorce, and work, we belong to the Lord.
