Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Changing Who You Are Is Necessary Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013

Followers of Jesus are affirmed by God because of who Jesus is, not because of who we are as an individual. God never accepts us for who we are, He accepts us because as followers of His Son, we are who we are because of Jesus. And God accepts Jesus.

Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery."
