A Message For Believing Christians with Unbelieving Spouses

Do not forget Jesus Christ lives in YOU and YOU are an instrument through which He expresses His life and love. Because He is in you, you take Him everywhere you go. Remember, we are IN  Him, and that is always true. Jesus Christ continually engulfs your life just like the air that sustains you physically. Wherever you are, He is! He is in you!  Even if you were to go to a place not compatible with the righteous nature you have in Him, He would still be in you!

The Bible teaches that you have been sanctified. The word suggests that you have been miraculously made holy by virtue of the fact that He has set you apart for Himself. You are a container and conduit of the very life of Jesus Christ. You take holiness with you everywhere you go therefore; “you sanctify” your environment because of Him.

Scripture describes a situation in which a believing wife is married to a man who doesn’t yet believe in Christ. The apostle Paul said that the “unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife.” And “unbelieving wife is sanctified through her husband.”   (1Corinthians 7:12-16)  In other words “EACH ONE IS A MARKED PERSON!” Marked by God Himself! Just as the believing spouse is marked;  In God’s time, the unbelieving spouse will come to believe also. MANY   A HUSBAND OR WIFE HAS COME TO BELIEVE IN CHRIST BECAUSE OF THE GODLY INFLUENCE OF A BELIEVING SPOUSE!

Walk the walk and talk the talk! Keep trusting God and His Holy Spirit and soon you will be   rejoicing as your unbelieving spouse, becomes a believer. Remember Saul who was the foremost persecutor of Christians and how he became Paul, the foremost Apostle of Christ! The hardest heart will soften under the love of Christ, reflected by YOU!

Bless you, Saints of Christ!
