Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-20

Colossians 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

The first thing listed above is fornication.

United States census data from 2012 shows that 7.8 million couples were living together at that time, without walking down the aisle, compared to 2.9 million in 1996.

And two-thirds of couples married in 2012 shared a home together for more than two years before they ever made the commitment to marriage.

And recently, it has become a more common option than marriage. According to new U.S. Census Bureau data, as of 2018 15 percent of young adults ages 25-34 live with an unmarried partner.

People are thinking this is the way to go, but do they realize the danger in it?

It’s just getting worse.

It’s not hard to get a marriage license. What’s hard is thinking that we can live together and nothing is wrong with it. We can’t just live together and think God’s going to bless our situation.

Fornication brings on the wrath of God. In His eyes it is direct disobedience toward Him.

Colossians 3:6 (NKJV) 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience…

This is a warning to those that think, for whatever reason, that it’s OK.

The world we live in today may say it’s better, but God has a different view. He says put fornication to death.

Do whatever it takes and make it right. Repent and get married.

There is nothing like saying our vows to each other before God. It is what makes it a Holy Matrimony; a lifelong commitment between a man and women that lasts until death.

May God bless your marriage today!
