MARRIAGE SERIES: MARRIAGE, GOD’S WAY
Genesis 2:24 (KJV): “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Marriage was God’s idea, not man’s invention. From the very beginning, before culture, law, or tradition, God clearly defined His design for marriage.
Today, we live in a time when many people attempt to justify polygamous marriages—sometimes using culture, personal preference, or even selective readings of Scripture. But God’s original pattern has never changed. If polygamy had been God’s intention, He would have created Adam with two or three women. Instead, God made one Eve for one Adam, establishing a model meant for all generations.
Infact, when we examine the Scriptures, we see that polygamy appears not as God’s intention but as a reflection of human weakness and disobedience.
Consider Abraham. God promised him a son, but impatience led Abraham and Sarah to involve Hagar. Hagar was never God’s choice. The result was conflict, pain, jealousy, and lasting division.
Look also at Solomon. He had many wives, and Scripture clearly tells us that “his wives turned his heart away from the Lord” (1 Kings 11:3–4). Polygamy did not strengthen his devotion to God; it weakened it.
Moreover, the Lord expects more from us today than He did from the men of the Old Testament. We live under a better covenant and with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
As believers, we are not called to justify what culture accepts, but to uphold what God has established. Let us honor marriage the way God designed it—one man, one woman, joined by God. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 13:4, Matthew 19:4-6
GOLDEN NUGGET: As believers, we are not called to justify what culture accepts, but to uphold what God has established. Let us honor marriage the way God designed it—one man, one woman, joined by God.
PRAYER: Father God, I thank You because You are the author of marriage. Thank You for Your wisdom and perfect design. I honor marriage the way You intended it. Today, You strengthen marriages in our homes and in the body of Christ. Our marriages glorify You and reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
