Nehemiah #12 - Marriage

Marriage joins two lives so closely that divided faith can bring lasting spiritual strain. Nehemiah confronts Judah's men because marriages to worshippers of foreign gods left many children unable to understand Scripture and worship. The issue is faith, not race. God directs Christians seeking marriage to choose a believer and put Christ's kingdom before immediate happiness. Those already in such marriages should pray, love, repent of rejecting God's wisdom, and make faithful choices, trusting Christ's sacrifice for forgiveness and cleansing.
