Avoid An Unequally Yoked Marriage — Married For Life Sermon Series Part 1 of 3
In the sacred institution of marriage, the Lord commands His people to unite in holy matrimony with those who share the same faith and commitment to His Word.
The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Corinthians, admonishes believers with a clear and solemn instruction: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
The yoke, a wooden bar placed across the necks of oxen to bind them together for a common purpose, symbolizes the bond that a marriage creates. Exactly as two oxen must walk together in unity and strength, so must the two hearts in a marriage be equally aligned in purpose, faith, and devotion to God.
To marry an unbeliever, or one who does not share the same faith in Christ, is to enter into an unequally yoked marriage and invite discord into a relationship that is meant to be a reflection of God’s love, holiness, and unity.
The Bible teaches that light cannot coexist with darkness, nor can righteousness and lawlessness find common ground (2 Corinthians 6:14–15).
In the same way, a believer’s heart and mind must be joined in agreement with someone who loves the Lord and submits to His will, so that they may walk together in harmony, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and fulfill the divine calling upon their lives.
