Goodness Greg... You are buying a spot, sleeping on the couch for the next couple of months. I really wonder if your wife agrees with your views on this topic?

Goodness Greg... You are buying a spot, sleeping on the couch for the next couple of months. I really wonder if your wife agrees with your views on this topic? The wife and I choose to view this topic through the character and promises of our God, coupled with scripture. One of the very first covenants that God gave us was the marriage covenant. At our ceremony, the wife and I took communion, sealing ourselves together "as one" for eternity. We both agree that our marriage covenant with God is for eternity, and we believe we will be tasked with eternal work and worship to our God......together. We also believe that God gives us the desires of our heart, and it is our desire to worship and serve God together. Now what does marriage look like in Heaven? I have no idea. Maybe there is no love-making..... but we don't care. The hearts of the wife and I are knitted together, and our love and friendship and our marriage relationship are far deeper than something physical. Of course, God can do whatever he wants, but the wife and I are prepared to kneel before God and ask.... "Father, we desire You to honor our marriage covenant for eternity." Now, some might argue.... "...til death do us part." But we plan to go in the Rapture and not die. Regardless, death is the enemy, and it will not 'trump' a God-given covenant. Marriage isn't just a gift and an institution... it is a covenant. Maybe some just want a friendship with their spouse in Heaven.... The wife and I want a marriage covenant.
Hi John in CO (one of my favorite states:) I wrote out a comment to you yesterday and poof it was gone. lol I can tell you and your wife really love each other. I've never heard someone describe the marriage covenant with a spouse in Heaven like this before. Interesting thoughts.... I hope Pastor Greg teaches more about this topic. I also love how you and your wife talk about all this now... on this side of Heaven. I've been married to my husband for 30 years and we talk about how our relationship will grow even stronger and deeper and 100% perfect in Heaven (New Earth) someday. I believe we will know each other more perfectly than we could ever imagine. We also desire to be raptured!! It's incredible we'll have eternity with the ones we love and new friends too. I do agree with Pastor Greg and Pastor Jimmy that believers (the church) are His bride and someday we will be the wife of Jesus. Jimmy has several wonderful posts on the Groom and His bride. This is my favorite one - He shares specifically about the Galilean wedding. Hope you enjoy https://endtimes.substack.com/p/the-1-reason-jesus-is-returning
Kari, I grew up in West Texas and have followed Pastor Jimmy for decades and his ministry focusing on Marriage is outstanding. I also hold the beliefs regarding that the Church is the Bride of Christ. Really cut and dry… no debate about it. The Church as an institution will be married to Christ.
