Keep the Marriage Bed Undefiled
„Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.”
Marriage is not a human arrangement without spiritual weight. God says that marriage should be honored and the marriage bed kept undefiled. That is not old-fashioned, but holy. Fidelity protects something that God deems valuable. At the same time, this text is sharp: God judges fornicators and adulterers. We should not gloss over that. Grace is real, but grace does not make sin innocent. Whoever plays with adultery is playing with fire in the sight of God. The question is: Do you treat marriage as something holy, or as something that can be set aside once your desires start shouting louder?
Proclamation
I honor marriage and keep the marriage bed undefiled. I do not live under the dominion of fornication or adultery. My body is destined for holiness and faithfulness.
Prayer
Father, give me reverence for what You call holy. Protect my marriage, my thoughts, and my choices. Let my life be pure before Your face. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
