“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:9-11
Marriage is not about mere love; it is about the marvelous love demonstrated in the gospel: God’s love for rebels. He sent his Son Christ to die for ill-deserving sinners, redeeming those who merited nothing but His righteous wrath. This love compels us to love one another in view of the love with which God has so graciously loved us.
