CAN A VIRGIN MARRY A NON-VIRGIN?
Wow! It was an amazing moment pouring our hearts into this teaching. A young man was pained and asked a question; How can I be a virgin as a man, and then marry a Non-virgin? Hmm! This is deep but to the glory of God, this question and many more are fully addressed in the book.
Just to drop a highlight:
Yes, a virgin can marry a Non-virgin, provided the Non-virgin is in Christ. 2cor.5:17 says therefore if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature, old things are padt away; behold all things becometh new.
Let's look at the life of the prophet Hosea in Hosea 1:2
Hosea was a holy prophet, but the LORD instructed him to marry a harlot called Gomer; he did that to show his redemptive love for Israel, even in their sins.
Do not allow your personal desires to override the will of God.
When the Lord revealed a vision to Peter, instructing him to eat from a variety of animals considered unclean under Jewish law, Peter resisted, saying, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean” (Acts 10:14). But the Lord rebuked him, declaring, “What God has cleansed, you must not call common” (Acts 10:15).
Soon after this encounter, Peter received a divine summons from Cornelius, a Gentile centurion. Upon arriving at Cornelius’ household and ministering, Peter witnessed the astonishing move of God: the Gentiles received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues, just as the Jews had experienced at Pentecost.
This event serves as a profound typology, reminding us that God’s wisdom and ways surpass human reasoning. What may appear unfit or unacceptable to us might be divinely chosen and sanctified by God. Therefore, the ultimate posture of the believer is not to argue with divine instruction but to humbly submit, trusting that God’s ways are always the best.
