😇God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. - ROMANS 5:8
⛪️WHEN YOU GOT MARRIED, did you sign a contract or make a covenant? When you sign a mortgage contract, the bank loans you the money if you agree to make the monthly payments. Stop making payments, and the bank will foreclose on your house to get their money back.
🧔🏾❤️👩🦰Many couples have the same attitude about marriage. They might say, “I will love you and be faithful to you if you will love me and be faithful to me.” That is not the biblical view of marriage. Biblically, marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Covenant marriage is based on unconditional love—love no matter what.
❤️God is the author of unconditional love. Romans 5 reminds us that God loved us and sacrificed for us even when we were sinful, undeserving, and ungrateful. The prophet Isaiah even compared our best efforts to “filthy rags” (64:6). We have nothing to offer God, but he loves us nonetheless. Loving the unlovely is the hallmark of God. It is also the key to a successful marriage.
🙏Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me when I can offer nothing in return. Help me to love my spouse the same way—freely and fully, no matter what.
