Holiness in Marriage -
How is holiness manifested within the context of marriage?
Marcus Serven explains in this video that holiness is the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing forth the transformative aspects of the Gospel. Martin Luther pointed out that while we are justified, we are still sinners. Scripture teaches us that there is a period of growth that takes place after conversion, called sanctification.
In marriage, we must recognize that our spouses are sinners as we are. Over time, as we grow in holiness, we deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and truly follow Christ.
Specifically, for the husband, this means thinking of your wife first before yourself. How you can please your wife. This involves self-sacrifice, self-denial, thinking of one's spouse, and dying daily to yourself. These are some of the ways that holiness is manifested in the home and in marriage.
Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) – “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.”
