Marriage Must Honour and Glorify the Originator

MARRIAGE MUST HONOUR
AND GLORIFY
THE ORIGINATOR
We must glorify God in our marriages. It is Him who or
instituted the same and He knows all about it.

WE WERE CREATED FOR GOD'S GLORY
We see that God created us for His
glory.
We can correctly conclude that the
purpose for our existence is to
GLORIFY GOD.
• Isaiah 43:7 God said, "Everyone who
is called by My name, whom I have
created for My glory; I have formed
him, yes, I have made him."
2

Some people will not allow
themselves to be placed under
the control of God or anyone else.
God knows what is best for us
and we should submit to His will.
He understands our situations
and is in control.
3

He created us; He knows what we
need. We must not merely live the way
we WANT. God is glorified when we
live the way we SHOULD. God teaches
us through the Bible the way we
SHOULD live. He wants us to do His
will, knowing that we will only find true
happiness by serving Him.
4

We can please God only by
discovering through His Word
what HE wants us to do and what
He wants us to be. To please God
and have a meaningful and happy
life, we must live to serve God
through doing His will to
accomplish the purpose for our
existence
5

Some people serve God only out
of fear. We must learn to WANT to
serve God because of our love for
Him. After we learn how to love,
then we will WANT to do what we
OUGHT to do in spite of our
failures.
6

God created you to honor and
glorify Him. He created you to love
and serve Him. He created you to
love and serve other people.
When we love God and others we
are bringing glory to Him. When
we serve God and others we are
glorifying Him.

HENCE OUR MARRIAGE IS FOR GOD'S
GLORY
If you are married, then the most
important person that God has
placed in your life for you to love
and serve is your spouse. The
husband and wife must serve and
love each other in order for God
to be glorified by their marriage.
8

When the marriage is not
following God's rules, then the
family is not honoring God. We
must bring glory to God, who is
the Creator of marriage.
9

Stronger marriages build stronger
countries or nations. Stronger
families build stronger churches
and stronger communities.
10

We want our country to be a
stronger nation. We want our
neighborhood to be a community
of happier people. We want the
church to have better families. We
can build stronger families only by
starting with husbands and wives
who are striving to serve God and
each other.
11

Good Christian families serve as
examples for other families.
Husbands and wives who treat
each other with kindness and
respect are good role models for
others and they glorify God
through their lives.
12

When people see how happy a
Christian couple is, they are eager
to learn what it is that causes this
great happiness. This gives the
Christian couple an opportunity to
tell others about Jesus Christ. The
couple can tell how God's love for
them and their love for God helps
them to love each other more.
13

A husband and wife are sexually
attracted to each other. This is
God's design. This permits them
to enjoy each other physically.
This also causes the world to
continue to be populated as
children are born to married
people.
14

The husband is commanded to
love his wife and the wife is
commanded to love her husband.
The husband and wife may
sacrifice time, material things, or
just their own desires in order to
provide for the comfort and needs
of the other spouse.
15

God is glorified when homes are
formed by a man and woman
getting married according to the
laws of the country in which they
live. God is glorified when this
husband and wife become
spiritually united through their
love for and commitment to Jesus
Christ.
16

God is glorified when children are
born to families in which both the
mother and father are physically
and spiritually present in the
home. God is glorified when the
children are encouraged to serve
God through the examples set by
their parents.
17

Such Christian parents give their
children hope that they, too, can
live happy Christian lives
dedicated to God.
18

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
‘Watch, stand fast in the faith, be
brave, be strong. Let all that you
do be done with love’. (NKJV)
19

THE HUSBAND AND WIFE
MUST WORK OUT THEIR
MARRIAGE TOGETHER TO
GLORIFY GOD. Hence they
must:
20

1. The husband and wife must be
watchful – they observe, they
stand guard against that which
would destroy the home, they
persevere. They study the world
and perceive trends. They both
anticipate dangers and
opportunities.
21

2. The husband and wife must
stand firm in the faith – they
stand rather than being unstable;
they stand rather than run. Both
must stand on truth with a
worldview giving them both
purpose and courage.
22

3. The husband and wife must act
in boldness and gentleness,
influencing and shaping those at
home. They don’t put themselves
first but put the rest of the family
first. They are servants and not
masters. They lead from the front:
“First in the attack and last in the
retreat.”
23

4. The husband and wife are both
strong – others can count on
them. They have enough strength
to share and embolden others.
They must protect and provide for
household by using their
strengths and abilities.
24

5. The husband and wife must do
everything in love – they’re tough
on issues and tender with family
members. The best leadership
they can provide is love.
25

FINALLY
When all is done well, glory and
honour return to the originator of
the marriage institution. He knows
the bolts and nuts of marriage. We
must allow Him to take charge and
at the end we say ‘GLORY AND
HONOR BELONGS TO GOD FOR
ALLOWING US TO ENJOY OUR
MARRIAGE’.
