Sound Bites

"There are few decisions in life that are more important than who you decide to marry."

"We can be joined to the idols of this world. We can be joined to the enemy's strategies against us. And the result of those works of the flesh is death and destruction."

"We can leave the flesh behind, the commitment to the law, our sin, the power of those things is dead. And now I am free to enjoin myself to a new partner."

Takeaways

The decision of who to marry is one of the most important decisions in life, as it greatly influences our future and destiny.

Being married to the flesh leads to a life of sin and destruction, while being married to Christ brings freedom and the opportunity to bear fruit for God.

We need to fully surrender to Jesus and serve Him, leaving behind the old habits and attitudes of our previous marriage to the flesh.

When we are joined to Christ, we can experience the fruits of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
