Dear Young Christian:
I recently attended another wedding, and it was one of the happiest I had ever been to. It was simple, yet elegant, beautiful but not opulent, and most important of all the Lord Jesus Christ was honored. It reminded me of the words of Scripture: “And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee … and both Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the marriage” (John 2:1-2).
This is a day when the marriage tie is being given up and thought of very lightly. But the Word of God states, “Marriage is honorable” (Hebrews 13:4). It is part of God’s plan for the blessing of man on the earth. Peter puts it this way: “Heirs together of the grace of life” (1 Peter 3:7).
Perhaps there is a reader who is praying about a life-partner or considering getting married soon. Follow God’s plan, and it will be for your happiness and blessing. Remember too, we are never justified in marrying an unsaved person. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
Your Christian Friend,
