Marriage Counselling (1 Corinthians 7:25–38)
To marry, or not to marry? That is the question Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians 7:25–38. Even more importantly, he addresses devotion to the Lord. His concern about undivided devotion to Jesus Christ is directly related to the question of marriage and singleness. We need to hear the apostolic marriage counselling that he provides. We consider this text under four broad headings: 1. Listen to Pastoral Concerns (v. 25) 2. Consider Your Present Circumstances (vv. 26–31) 3. Remember Your Primary Calling (vv. 32–35) 4. Seek Your Parent’s Consent (vv. 36–38)

Nothing can be hidden from God. He sees all. He knows all. This truth is revealed in the text before us. This text, which has proven to be disturbing to modern, and not-so-modern, readers, points us to God’s mercy. It drives home the truth that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways.
