Sorry, I've read all the threads and have not gotten an answer. I ask again - How can a spouse be sanctified by anyone but God? Can anyone supply an answer? | ||||||
2 | Sanctification by a spouse? | 1 Cor 7:14 | DocTrinsograce | 208529 | ||
"While this sanctification is taken in various senses, I refer it simply to marriage, in this sense: It might seem (judging from appearance) as if a believing wife contracted infection from an unbelieving husband, so as to make the connection unlawful; but it is otherwise, for the piety of the one has more effect in sanctifying marriage than the impiety of the other in polluting it. Hence a believer may, with a pure conscience, live with an unbeliever, for in respect of the use and intercourse of the marriage bed, and of life generally, he is sanctified, so as not to infect the believing party with his impurity. Meanwhile this sanctification is of no benefit to the unbelieving party; it only serves thus far, that the believing party is not contaminated by intercourse with him, and marriage itself is not profaned." --John Calvin | ||||||
