J. The Sacrament of Marriage

(Scriptures: Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Hebrews 13:4, Ephesians 5:25-33, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

Marriage is God’s gift of holy union between a biological man and woman, designed to reflect His covenantal love and purpose. All sexual sins—including adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography, lust, and others, whether acted on or imagined—stand outside God’s design and call for repentance and transformation. Yet these are no more offensive to God than sins such as pride, greed, gluttony, or selfishness. All sin distorts God’s image in us, and all require Spirit-led repentance and co-laboring with God toward holiness and restoration.
