Unequal Yokes 1 Cor 7:10-16

The people in Corinth had many questions about marriage which we have the answer but not the question, like the game show “Jeopardy”. These questions are based on what is spiritually correct.

1.    Question one: should Two Christians who are married divorce.

a.    Remain married

b.    Not I but the Lord

c.    Matthew 19:3-9 Marriage is a permanent bond

d.    Infidelity by the spouse breaks the bond

2.    Question two: should a Christian divorce their unbelieving spouse

a.    Remain married if..

b.    I not the Lord (Jesus never addressed this question)

c.    If your spouse chooses to live with you

Let’s you live your faith

Biblically correct marriage

2 Corinthians 6:14

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?   ¹⁵What accord has Christ with Belial?  Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?   ¹⁶What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God

3.    Question 3: is marriage to an unbeliever valid before God.

a.    Your Christian life style and your spouse chooses to live in it.

b.    Makes your marriage Holy (Godly)

c.    Makes your children Holy (Godly)

d.    Because they choose to live in a Christian way.

e.    You may save their soul

How should married Christians live? Live first for God. Be devoted first to God. Live as a witness to God forgiveness and grace to your spouse and your children. Through you their lives will be better, blessed, transformed. And through your faithfulness to God they may come to put their trust in Jesus as Lord and savior.
