Meeting God Face To FaceBài mẫu

### DAY FOUR: Becoming One The implications of this promise go far beyond simply getting married. Many have done that without any increase of God’s favor. This promise is given to those who correctly steward the blessing of marriage. If you want to catch the attention of the king, treat his daughter well. By nature, it implies unity—becoming one—which illustrates the relationship of God with His people. The groom is to love his bride as Jesus loves the church and died for her. The bride is to honor and respect the groom as the church respects God. Stewarding marriage by maintaining honor and love in the relationship is to position oneself for increase of favor with God and man. It is when this relationship is held in proper esteem that the message of God’s love is most clearly seen in this world. Marriage is often used in the Bible as a metaphor for Christ’s relationship with us, His church. To what degree have you become one with the Father by loving His Son well? Point to Ponder : I will receive the glory that has been given to me so that I may be one with Jesus and the Father.
