God’s plan of salvation has been revealed to us believers from start to finish. Although we live in the present, the truth of past prophecies builds confidence for our future inheritance.

Life involves trials, even for those who are beloved of God. We can have joy, even in our trials. All of this life’s trials are temporary, since this life is short and we can be sure that God will use them to accomplish his purposes. Don’t be surprised by trials, instead understand that they are revealing to you the quality of your faith. More importantly, the power of the one in whom you believe, which will result in salvation.

We are exiles in a foreign land, but we have every reason to bless God! Through Jesus’ death and resurrection we are born again. We now have a hope waiting for us that this world cannot touch.

The apostle Peter writes a book to a group of churches in modern day Turkey. In it, he reminds them that even though they are exiles in this world, that they are also chosen by God.

Sex is a part of God’s plan for the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman. Sex unites two people, both body and soul, and so we must be careful to keep it within the bounds of marriage. In marriage sex should be frequent, patient, and giving.

Problems exist within any marriage. At the heart of a great number of marriage problems are an unwillingness to prioritize your spouse, commit to loving them as they change throughout life, and trusting God’s good plan in submission and servant leadership.

Because Christ is ultimate, singleness is not a problem to fix, a season to waste, or a sign that someone is incomplete. Whether singleness lasts a season or a lifetime, our identity, fulfillment, intimacy, purpose, and hope are ultimately found in Jesus, not in a relationship status.

Marriage is meant to be sanctifying. As two people come together in honest and loyal friendship and commitment, they help one another toward the common goal of the upward call of sanctification.

A marriage commitment is based on a Biblical understanding of love. Love is not a feeling, but an action. Marriage is a lifelong commitment to act in a loving way toward another person.

When we have the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to submit to one another in marriage and eschew self-centeredness as the cancer to healthy marriage that it is.
