Becoming One
|
 |
Written By:

When a couple marries, it is sometimes referred to as 'becoming one'. It has been said the problem is deciding which one. Which should it be? I submit to you, neither one.
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3. If either wants to be king of the hill, then they walk alone; with a mate, by their side, in name only.
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour," Ec. 4:9.
My mate is left handed, utilizing the opposite side of his brain (by comparison to the side most males use) and God gave me analytical abilities. Yet, when God created either of us, He did not make a mistake. There are times when I make wiser business decisions. Though, he is quick to spot a con-artist.
"For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:
but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up," Ec. 4:10.
Our strengths uphold each other.
"Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?" Ec. 4:11.
When we make Jesus our head, Jesus will stand with us.
When both we and our mate make Jesus the head, our stand is even greater.
"And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ec. 4:9-12.
"Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." Mt. 18:8-9.
Did I say to run out and divorce them? No.
Just, don't cheat on God to fall with your mate.
"No servant can serve two masters: for either he - continued below ...

will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon," Lu. 16:13.
Adam's sin was that he chose his mate above God.
And God named both male and female 'Adam', Ge. 5:2.
Only God knows how to defeat Satan every time. Therefore, if the Spirit does not guide a couple toward agreement, God is not likely in it. A warm assurance and the comfort of unity comes when both agree on His leading. Only then can the three walk together.
"Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them," Mt. 18:19-20.
When we seek God's guidance together, we obtain divine protection.
Another way of looking at it is this.

"I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."
Jn. 17:23
Only when we become one with God can we become one with each other;
one in heart, soul, purpose, body, mind, and strength.
