#4288 – Becoming One

Good morning people who honour God’s ordained pattern for marriage

Genesis 2:23-25 NIV 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. 25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

God’s original design was to make two out of one, and then make one out of two.

God took from Adam and He made Eve. Then He placed Adam & Eve together, and they became one.

This oneness was in their commitment to one another.

God’s original design was for sexual union to be between a man and a woman who are married.

God’s original design of marriage equals NO SHAME.

Today, the motto in the world is “As long as you are happy, do what you want.” The result is often shame and brokenness.

Too often we presume to know better than God, yet it is He Who made us, and it is He who gave the original pattern in these verses above.

God’s Word to you today is that He wants no shame attached to sexual union. But this can only happen if we do things His way, and that is to keep sexual union within marriage between a husband and a wife only.
