Overview: Marriage as Commitment

July 3, 2024 · 49 min

Show notes

Ephesians 5 is the most detailed and famous of New Testament passages about marriage. It shows us the power, the definition, the priority, the purpose, the structure, and the mystery of marriage.

In this series, we’ve already looked at the power of marriage, though we’ll talk a little more about it now. Then the next aspect to discuss is the definition of marriage: that marriage is a covenant.

We’ll look at 1) what it means that marriage is a covenant and 2) the amazing and practical ramifications of marital commitment.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 25, 1991. Series: Marriage. Scripture: Ephesians 5:21–33.
