For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 ESV And just as it is appointed for people to die once—and after this, judgment Hebrews 9:27 CSB 2. ENJOY THE LIFE GOD GAVE YOU — DON’T WAIT FOR LATER 3. LOVE THE PEOPLE GOD GAVE YOU — BUILD A GODLY MARRIAGE Biblical Theology of Marriage Singleness is not sin. I wish that all people were as I am. But each has his own gift from God, one person has this gift, another has that. I say to the unmarried and to widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire. 1 Corinthians 7:7–9 (CSB) The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man no helper was found corresponding to him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to come over the man, and he slept. God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at that place. Then the LORD God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. And the man said: This one, at last, is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called “woman,” for she was taken from man. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:20–24 (CSB) Some Pharisees approached him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds? “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that he who created them in the beginning made them male and female,, and he also said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?, So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:3–6 (CSB) 4. DO WHAT MATTERS MOST — GIVE YOUR LIFE TO WHAT COUNTS Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23–24 (CSB) 5. TRUST GOD WITH WHAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL
