In the previous lessons, we examined biblical covenants and their
purposes. Marriage is a covenant between a Man and a Woman to
become one single entity in the presence of the Lord. This will be our
focus in the next few lessons.
Discussions on Christian living are incomplete without a thorough
discussion on family life. This is an institution that the Lord Jesus
Christ likened to the relationship between Him and His Church. May
the Holy Spirit teach and bless us the more in Jesus’ name.
