"Thy wife shall be as a
fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive
plants round about thy table." Psalms 128:3
The Christian Family
The
Christian religion elevated marriage to a high level, possibly the
highest level it had been on since the Garden of Eden. Christian
husbands and wives are “heirs together of the grace of life.” I
Peter 3:7. We believe and teach that marriage is a sacred covenant
before God. The Lord joins a godly husband and wife together.
“Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Matthew 19:6. Often
God later adds children to the Christian family. He does so in His
own wisdom and providence. No one just “has” children. They are
given as a heritage from God, as His reward.
