1 Corinthians 7:18-20 (KJV)
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
1 Corinthians 7
Circumcision
In the new covenant, it is no longer necessary for male children to be circumcised. We also don’t judge others on this matter.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5
1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (KJV)
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Jesus Has The Power To Save Our Marriage
Jesus is the only one who can save our marriage. His presence alone will bring the love that we are missing now.
1 Corinthians 7:1-3
1 Corinthians 7:1-3 (KJV)
1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
Courtship And Marriage
While dating, we respect the other person enough to keep sexual intimacy in marriage. This love and respect continue in marriage.
Three Reasons For Divorce
Staying married is always the best answer, but according to the Bible, the three reasons for divorce are fornication, abandonment, and if a spouse dies.
1 Corinthians 7:14-16
1 Corinthians 7:14-16 (KJV)
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Grounds For Divorce According To The Bible
God hates divorce. However, if someone is considering this, His Word says that fornication or abandonment are reasons for it.
1 Corinthians 7:13-15
1 Corinthians 7:13-15 (KJV)
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Marriage Works When Three People Are Involved
When it comes to our kids, they need to be onboard with obeying both of their parents and not just one. They should not be disobeying what one parent is saying and running to their other parent in disregard to his/her needs.
Sexual Sin Can Send A Person To Hell
As the Bible teaches, adultery, fornication and pornography is not tolerated with God and therefore, these people will feel the wrath of God in judgement, lest they repent.
