Marriage Covenant, Testament, Legal Document, Pledged Agreement

Marriage Covenant:

Marriage is Based in Covenant, FAMILY. When a man and woman marry, the moment they say I do, Yahweh stands as a witness to the marriage sealing it with the strongest possible word: “Covenant” (Hebrew berit) “Covenant” speaks of faithfulness and enduring commitment. Ezekiel 16:8 1 Chronicles 16:15



Divorce is described as “Violence,” because it does violence to Yahweh’s intention for marriage, to the mate to whom one has been joined, and to the children of that union. Prov. 2:17 even equates on who forsakes their spouse with one who forgets Yahweh’s covenant. However, where husband and wife abide in the commitment of their marriage vows, all the power of a covenant-keeping God stands behind them and their marriage.

Yahweh highly prizes and supports the concept of “covenant” commitment because it is a picture of His love and faithfulness to us. To see the nature of how He would have us apply this concept, study Yahweh’s first covenant Gen. 6-9 as it records; the desire for a relationship Gen. 6:18; Gen. 9; 9; Gen. 9:11: the giving of a token sign to seal the covenant Gen 9:12-13; and the eternal commitment of the covenant Gen. 9:16. Covenant is given as the guarantee of Yahweh’s unending fidelity, and He calls us to the same truth and spirit of Love’s deepest meaning Eph. 5:22-32/Gen. 2:24 Song 7:1-9

The marriage covenant is commanded to be honored by all for several reasons Hebrews 13:4. First the marriage covenant is referred to as a covenant He (Yahweh) has created, formed and fashioned between husband and wife Genesis 2:24. Second Yahweh the covenant maker and keeper has personally witnessed the marriage covenant between husband and wife Malachi 2:14. Third the marriage covenant between a man and his wife is referred to as the covenant between Yahshua the Messiah and His Church the called our assembly Ephesians 5: 22-33. Fourth the marriage covenant relationship with our one flesh spouse is to be fulfilled as Yahshua the Messiah does for the church His bride which He feeds and cares for and lays down his life for (reconciliation and redemption) Ephesians 5:31. Fifth the God Head puts all their power, authority, ability, provision, equipping and fullness in and around the marriage covenant assuring it of success, compatibility, fruitfulness, and the destiny of future descendants the inheritance of the family Genesis 17:7.

Understanding Covenant:

A Covenant agreement is binding on all participating parties and at the demand of any covenant agreement participant the other covenant participants are required by agreement to give everything the parties in need require. Also this works both ways for either participating party who has needs, the other participating parties are obligated by agreement to supply the needs of their fellow covenant relationship partners.

Covenant promises go beyond the OT laws with all their rules, regulations and demands or mans traditions. Yahweh sets in place the boundary's of every covenant by His Word and His Spirit of Truth. Once a covenant is established between Yahweh and Mankind, Yahweh puts everything He is and has as a collateral pledge to fulfill His Promise to the covenant person or persons. In other words Yahweh gives literal ownership of everything He is and has to His covenant participants as long as they obey the Covenant, IF YOU Have Chosen or THOSE WHO have Chosen to know Yahweh??? There are some words we struggle to understand such as EVERLASTING, MERCY, FAITH and Yahweh's LOVE??? Or as the Word of Yahweh says these three remain, FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.
