Sharing on Marriage Love

(1 John 4: 12- …If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in 

us.)

(1 John 4: 16- And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; 

                 and he that

dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in Him.)

(1 John 4: 18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:…)

Love is God’s standard.

Love is God’s privilege given to marriage.

Love is God’s measuring device.

Love is your mate’s need.

God’s love is the believer’s strength.--      present, personal, powerful, peaceable, plentiful, perfect, permanent,   proven, presented

Love transcends barriers.

Love secures, soothes, solves, strengthens, stabilizes, is sensitive, spiritual, has single focus.

Love gives hope, perfects, enriches, rewards, is faithful.

Love is to be a pure love.  no division,duality,denying,drudgery,discontent,discounting,debating,doubting.

Love is God’s compensation for man’s failings.  Love has patience, is long suffering.

Love is not performance based.

The emphasis is not on quality received but on quantity given. (give much love)

Love is to be an expressive love.  to be genuine,given, gentle (tender), grateful, gracious, graceful, generous.

It is not silent. It is not left overs or cold. It has life.

Study how to love.

Love is free. Don’t charge your mate for it. Don’t make your mate pay for it.

Love is to be a loyal love.     lengthy, long lasting, not trendy, continuous, forgiving.

Love is to be a full love.   meaningful, cherished

                    without incompleteness, pretention, condescension, wait, measure, fail,

Christ's Teachings on Marriage Luke 16: 18

Read the passage Luke 16

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+16&version=ASV

(Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: 

and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth

  adultery.)

1. God has a changeless standard for marriage also.

2. The loyalty to God as Master is the loyalty marriage must be built upon- loyalty to

  one’s mate.

3. The act of putting away a marriage partner is an act of man’s origin- man’s will.

4. The belief that God’s standard may be just set aside is a false one.

5. A man setting aside God’s standard of commitment in marriage to his wife leads 

to adultery- the clear breaking of God’s law.

6. Disregard by another man who takes advantage of the first man’s transgression, 

has the  same guilt

7. God’s standards remain fixed in their accountability for /of human action.
