FRIEND OF THE WORLD

THE FALL OF CAIN

Part 2: TILLER OF THE GROUND

Lesson 3 – FRIEND OF THE WORLD

In the lesson 1 we looked at the ground as the mind and in the lesson 2 we looked at it as the flesh. Here in the lesson 3 we are going to look at the ground as the World.

Scripture Reading:

“Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.” (Gen. 4:2)

MARRIAGE – A MUST OR A NECESSITY

I am without doubts that marriage is one of the most deliberated issues among the many relevant life issues. Very often the question is asked, “Is marriage obligatory or optional?” or “Is it the will of God for me to marry?” or “Am I incomplete without marriage?” and etc. etc. questions. As a personal devotion to enlighten the world on this very essential subject I will biblically teach you whether marriage is a must or not. I trust God to bless you even as you spend quality time reading. 

To begin with, in the beginning God created male and female (Gen. 1:27). He did not create husband and wife. The original intent of God was to make man in His own image and likeness to take responsibility for all the earth (Gen. 1:28-30). So God created man according to His original intent, male and female He did create them (Gen. 1:27). Both male and female are in the image of God, and are to take responsibility for their independent lives, and most importantly to fulfill the assignment God has given them. This clears the doubt on incompleteness when unmarried.
