I would like to write here about a subject that has been bothering and hurting my mind for many days. Broken family relationships and families are commonplace today. Divorce, Separation, Living Together. Words like dating and so on have become a common way of life today. People who exhibit such behavior, live without any shame in society. I think it is the responsibility of the Church of God and the believers to speak and teach against such unscriptural and sinful matters. Today divorce and remarriage are commonplace in the church and the society.

Families established by God are perishing. Families are great, beautiful, and centers of divine fellowship. We must not allow Satan to destroy them

The time has come for the church and society to strictly control these types of behavior that ultimately destroy the real family. As a result, we see children separated from their parents, children who do not know their father, what a misery is seen in this society. All religions and castes have texts and cultures that focus on family relationships; But they are not obeyed, nor strictly advised. If they were strictly adhered to, there would not have been such a collapse. It is painful to see the devaluation of society.

According to the Holy Bible, the family was established by God

  It’s a great system. Families on this earth are the epitome of a great fellowship that God desires. It is holy. The devil intends to destroy this institution.

The Holy Bible places great importance on the family. The family is not just a small nuclear family consisting of a wife, husband and children. It means a large community of fathers, mothers, children, grandchildren, their wives and husbands. (A group of one or more parents and their children living together as a unit.) They have good culture, there will be a sense of protection, care, and sharing of pleasures and sorrows. Says the wise Solomon; Ecclesiastes 4:12 “And whosoever shall offend one of the two, both shall stand against him. The three strings will not break quickly. ‘

It refers to the strength of a joint family. The point is that families formed by standing with the true God will not break up quickly.

Due to the breakdown in families’ ties, alcohol use and drug use have risen. Also, such a breakdown is the cause of increases in extramarital affairs, and sexual anarchy in these times. The reason is that families in the present age do not have much restrain or advice. I do acknowledge that there are still restrictions, ethics and strong values in good families. Do not forget that good families are the community centers of God who created them. Not just during prayer. You can experience that fellowship in all areas of life.

In the Garden of Eden, God created the first humans, Adam and Eve (Adam & Eve), and God blessed them.  Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moved upon the earth.”

Growing into a good community and to be able to live on earth, in divine fellowship, is a blessing.    A family must maintain family ties, and live in good moral ideals, in love, and in obedience. (Obedience or submission). A society that grows in relationship with God while maintaining & sharing human values in sharing is what God wants.

By this I do not mean that everyone should live in the same house. Living in many homes means keeping the ideals and values ​​of the family relationship. A good family is the best wealth of a country. A good country is made up of good families. For example, it is worth noting that God created the nation of Israel in Abraham. Gen12.2,3; “I will make you a great nation; I will bless thee and magnify thy name; You will be a blessing. All nations of the earth will be blessed in you.

God wants good value conditions in which other families and individuals are blessed with good families. A family that received rules, conditions, and law (order) from an individual (Abraham); And the country received the same from the family. It is clear that this is what God wanted Heaven setup:

If you study figurative language, you can see the example of a family. In the earth is a symbol of what is in heaven.

Hebrew: 9 .23: “Therefore it is necessary that they should purify themselves of the images which are in heaven.” Therefore, God’s goal in the family, established by God, is the great Fellowship with Man. “

That is why John says. 1 John 1-4 “For the word of life which we have seen from the beginning, which we have seen with our own eyes, and which we have seen with our own eyes, 2 which have touched our hands. 3 And what we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us. But our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ .4 We write these things to you so that our joy may be complete. “ For the happiness of a human society to be complete, they must be united and in communion with God. This is the original Law of God. God is the giver of all good for it.

When we study the creation in the book of Genesis, we see that all the earthly creatures are for mankind. But let me make a point; It was not in Eden that God settled the first family. Instead, it is located in a beautiful garden created in the east of Eden.

In the Holy Bible we can understand that Eden and the Garden of Eden are two. Genesis 1: 8 “And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.” Here you can feel the uniqueness, interest, love, relationship, etc. with this family. Ezekiel 28 shows that Eden is very beautiful. But he made another beautiful garden out of it and named it the “Garden of Eden.” In the meantime, let us say one thing: Ezekiel 28:13 shows that the first name of this land was the Garden of Eden.

“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”  God expelled Lucifer from here because of his sin. Genesis 1.1 shows that the earth was covered with water and placed under the control of the Holy One. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; There was darkness over the depths. The Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. “

God separates the water and the land when He restores creation here. And he called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas. Genesis 1:10: “God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.”

The Garden of Eden is the name given to a vibrant (living) land of water and land. But that is not the case today. (We will understand more when we study the new heavens Rev: 21: 1) The earth was cursed again by Adamic sin.

That’s not the point. God’s love for human families is indescribable. It is the same as that Jesus Christ promised his disciples (the church or the bride) a special place, just as he had made a special garden for man in Eden; – John: 14.2, 3: In my father’s house are many mansions; If not, I would tell you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that ye may be where I am. There are many abodes in heaven, but Jesus Christ prepares a new abode for his bride. What a conceivable fact.

Let the picture of the heavenly family be made clear in figurative language.

As we study the Bible as a whole, we come to a picture of a large family, including God the Father. It can only be understood by studying the various parts of the Bible together. It can be studied by comparing the family of Abraham.

God is the Father. – Israel – as wife (mother): Jesus Christ – as son, and church – as the son’s(wife): Holy Spirit – as supervisor: Angels -: as servants; Old Testament saints – can also be portrayed as friends

2 Cor; 6 18 And I will receive you, and will be your Father, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Isaiah 54 .6 Ezekiel 16 describes Israel as an adulterous wife abandoned in figurative language.

John 3:16 says that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, who was born of the Jewish tribe through the Holy Virgin Mary, and in a sense the seed of Israel and the Son of God. Then Israel can be considered the mother and God the father.

2 Cor: 11.2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. Then the Church is clearly the Bride of Christ.

John 14:16 speaks about of the Holy Spirit; “But I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that is, the Spirit of truth; that he may be with you forever.”

In Psalm 103 (Ps: 103: 20) David says, “Praise the LORD, ye mighty angels, that obey the voice of his word, and obey his commandment.” Hebrews 1: 7 says that angels are servants of spirit. James 2:23 says that Abraham was a friend of God

“And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. And he was called the Friend of God.” 2 Chronicles 20: 7, Isaiah 41: 8:

Equivalent to   Take a look at Abraham’s family

Abraham in the place of God the Father, Isaac in the place of the Son Jesus Christ, Sarah in the place of Israel, Eleazar in the place of the Holy Spirit, the servant of Abraham in the place of Rebekah, and the servant in the house of the angels; If we study with his friends who are close to Abraham, we get the picture of a good family.

The apostle Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians: Eph: 3: 14 “Therefore I kneel before the Father, who causes all the families of the heavens and the earth to have their name.”

 Because of two children in two families; Jesus Christ and Isaac: Isaac was obedient to the altar prepared by Abraham, just as Jesus Christ was obedient to death on the cross. (Philippians 2: 1-8) These two individuals show the greatness of these families.

There is also a comparative description of their marriage. Just as Abraham sent his servant Eleazar to find Isaac’s wife, so God commissioned the Holy Spirit to prepare the church, the magnet of his Son, Jesus Christ. When Eleazar finds and prepares Rebecca, Isaac returns to meet her (not) at home but in the wilderness (Genesis 24). In the same way, Jesus Christ accepts his church in the middle of sky.  (1 Thessalonians 4: 16-11) and then enters into and heaven together.

In this way, according to the heavenly culture. Satan has destroyed the families that God established on earth and turned them into centers of evil. We must take care to get rid of it and move into good families. It is evident that there are still many families and relationships with good values ​​and divine cultures. But many families and individuals are sadly reminded that they are doomed to be enslaved by evil and the devil.

God will fulfill his promise and blessing. The Bible describes eternity as having families, tribes, communities, and nations. The time when they reign happily under God’s plan. But the Bible says that not everyone will get there. Everyone gets what he deserves while he is in the body (while he is alive).

 2 Corinthians 5:10; For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done, while he is in the flesh, whether good or bad.

God bless you all
