Little ones, may we also remind you about the spiritual life that you can live by obtaining Church education attending your local Churches. Good! Now, we will proceed to our lesson which is about love. You might remember our previous lesson on hope. And this section is the following part.

Matrimony and Gender

The foundation and culmination of Christian matrimony are rooted in God. In holy matrimony, the two men and woman become one through the holy sacrament. Without entering into a covenant with the One who grants us His Kingdom, starting marriage would be akin to the Old Testament concept of worldly, earthly and fleshly unions. These would exist solely for procreation, fulfilling physical desires, or resolving disputes, making matrimony a mere worldly endeavor. In Christian matrimony, however, these are gifts from God Himself. If we remain steadfast in our faith and live a virtuous life, we are promised the inheritance of the heavenly Kingdom.

I magnify my ministry!
