New Testament: 1 Corinthians 7:25-40

Summary: The Unmarried and the Widowed

Today we’ll see that marriage is a challenge. Now, Paul does not deny the blessings of marriage, but he does remind us of the burdens that marriage can bring, especially when times are tough. Building a Christian home is a great ministry, but nobody should enter into it lightly or carelessly. It’s been said that success in marriage involves much more than finding the right mate. It also requires being the right mate.

and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
~ 1 Corinthians 7:31

 

I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
~ 1 Corinthians 7:35

for the fashion of this world passeth away; not the nature, matter, and substance, but the figure and form of it; for after this world is burnt up, a new one, as to form and fashion, will arise, in much more beauty and glory; all that looks glorious and beautiful in the present world, as riches, honour, are all mere show and appearance, having nothing solid and substantial in them; and are all fluid and transitory, are passing away; there is nothing firm and permanent; in a little time, all will be at an end, the world itself, as to its present form, and all that is in it; when there will be no more marrying, nor giving in marriage, no more buying and selling, no more of the present changes and vicissitudes of prosperity and adversity, of joy and sorrow; these scenes will be all removed, and quite a new face of things appear: wherefore what the apostle exhorts unto, with respect to present conduct and behaviour, must be right and good.
From: John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. ~ Matthew 24:35

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. ~ Revelation 21:1
