GOD has some BIG plans for each of us who are married. He designed our marriages as one of the most public displays of His plan and purposes for the world to see.
We are to go out and live in a dark and hopeless world, chasing after elusive pleasures and never finding lasting satisfaction, and RADIATE Christ.
Think of the world in which the NT was written. Roman culture in the First Century was closed to God’s ways. That meant that every man and woman in the 1st Century had been born into a sin-warped culture.
Paul was training two local church pastors: Timothy (who pastored in Ephesus) and Titus (who pastored on Crete). So Paul wrote 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus to those pastors to amplify what he had already written in Ephesians.
Each unsaved person Paul, Timothy, or Titus encountered was living out their life each day darkened by sin, enduring mixed-up and struggling marriages and limping along with sin-scarred lives and families. But despite their failures, God wanted to make them useful again.
