 - A covenant is identity - Two lives become one:

In covenant you become identified with the other individual and there is a supernatural commingling of two lives.

 

Covenants have blood spilled. It is not just an oath, but an oath built on spilt blood. The woman’s body has a Hyman which has no specific purpose or biological purpose other than when she has her first sexual experience it tears and blood is shed. The curtain that separated the holy of holies had no real purpose… in itself it was not holy… but when Christ blood was spilled the curtain tore open to let the whole world know there is a new covenant. 

SEX IS YOUR IDENTITY - VIRGINITY IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR IDENTITY WITH YOUR HUSBAND IN A COVENANT. 

 

 

 - - A Covenant has a Hierarchy - A line of command… WHY? he created a chain of command in order to hold the man responsible. 

1 Cor. 11:3

This has nothing to do with quality of being or importance, but rather responsibility.  

 

A woman has to respect, submit and obey her husband as long as he himself is obeying and submitting to God. Otherwise the hierarchy is broke and you don’t get to tell her what to do.

If a United States Colonel goes rogue the private under him does not have to obey him.

 

FINALLY

We get married - LIVE A COVENANT 

in order to practice Gods love and likeness. You say I am in a horrible marriage…

Could Jesus live in that marriage? Yes, he could. So the real question is “how much do you have to be like Jesus” to live in that marriage… because that is the point of our walk with Christ… to be more like him!

 

The Mystery of Marriage EPH. 5: 32This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church. 

 

How do we love each other the way Christ loved the church? Only through the power of the God. 

 

 

You can’t build a strong nation, country on marriages based on feelings. But you can on a country based on covenants. 

We live in a world where we can be Christians but still not honor Gods command “no sex before marriage”. And because of that… we get married on a weakened “feelings” based foundation. Thus… breaking a marriage covenant is easy because it was based on feelings to begin with.
