1 Corinthians 7:1-16 was our text this week.
- What are things the world believes and promotes about marriage and/or relationships that seem to conflict with what God
says?
- Read 1 John 2:15-17. Why should believers in Jesus Christ not hold on to what the world promotes on any issue?
- Read the following. Is marriage a 50/50 arrangement or 100/100? Or is it something else? How realistic is it to think of
marriage as a 100/100 relationship (answer carefully, considering Proverbs 3:5,6)?
Genesis 2:22-24 Ephesians 5:28-31 1 Corinth. 7:3-5
- Discuss the idea of a 100/100 relationship in marriage related to God’s definition of love as shown to mankind by the
Lord Jesus (see 1 John 3:16) - “seeking the best for the other person regardless of the cost to you.”
- Read 1 Corinthians 7:10,11 and Mark 10:1-12. Is it proper to leave a marriage for any reason besides adultery?
Consider what was stated in the message regarding “faithfulness” in marriage. Do you agree with this interpretation? Does
God’s Word?
- Perhaps you or someone you know is in a marriage with a nonbeliever. What is the primary consideration for the believer
in the marriage according to 1 Corinthians 7:12-16?
- Pray for marriages—including those you know who are struggling with issues referred to in this passage.
