Married and Single People Living as Family | S3E10

Both marriage and singleness are good and about the gospel—just differently.From Genesis 2 onward, marriage is a normal expectation in human existence—because it is God’s plan to create for himself a great big family, and without marriage, there would have been no way for the earth to be filled with God’s family. And marriage was always about Jesus and the church. Marriage is a God-ordained picture of the gospel of Jesus Christ on display for the world to see.Marriage is God’s idea. It’s good, and it’s about the gospel. And so is singleness.In the new creation, all bad, sad, and temporary things are cast off, and in that mix, Christian singleness perseveres. Singleness is eternal and things that last forever are good. Single people live out the sufficiency of Christ through our undivided devotion to him. Through undivided devotion to Jesus Christ as Christian singles, we can be fulfilled and content with the church as family, even if we never marry or have children.Resources:Single Ever After by Dani Treweek
