1 | Sanctification by a spouse? | 1 Cor 7:14 | D.W. Cummins | 208525 | ||
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 | azurelaw | 208537 | ||
Dear D.W., Not to distract from others' reply, I would like to provide you the below for your further study: "......it isn't saying an unbelieving wife is saved automatically just because she's married to a Christian husband. Well, what does the word sanctified mean? Well, this is what we call matrimonial sanctification. And what do you mean by that? Well, that's just a term to distinguish it from spiritual and personal sanctification. You become set apart unto God and holy when you believe in Christ...but just having been in a home or living in a home where somebody is a Christian, has a sanctifying influence. Paul doesn't mean that the unbeliever is automatically made a Christian by marriage but what he does mean is that the marriage is benefited and that everybody in the house reaps the benefits." --- John MacArthur http://www.gty.org/Resources/transcripts/1829 |
