RESTITUTION AND HOLY MARRIAGE 

Introduction

This study will take us through different topics. They are very vital and should be well understood by every believer who wants to live a successful Christian life.

1. What is restitution? What is restitution and how do we restitute? Lev. 6:1-7; Prov. 28:13; Acts 24:16; Restitution involves restoring to the owners, all things taken by falsehood; confessing all lies told and bringing all those we have deceived, one way or the other, to the true picture of things.

2.  Christ righteousness is our garment Will it be right to refer to believers as sinners based on Romans 3:23? Discuss Is. 54:17; Rom. 10:4; I Cor. 1:30; II Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9. Paul in Gal. 2:20 says (paraphrased), "It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me. "This is applicable also to all believers. We have been bought with a price and we are no longer of our own and because we are no more of our own, we start to enjoy the righteousness of Him who owns us, i.e. God.

3.   Holy marriage:

a.  Name the elements of undefiled marriage. What do you feel about little romance and maybe little sex during courtship? Discuss exhaustively. Heb. 13:4

b.  What is the sound and Bible approved way of getting engaged as believers: Sam.16:7; Gen. 24:1-4; No marriage must be contracted with unbelievers. Also we must seek God’s face concerning His choice of a believer for us. Sam 16:7, God will not enter into our won program concerning marriage. We instead come into His own plan for us if only to avert troubles in the future. God hates divorce Mal. 2:14-16.
