Episode 265 Show Notes
Is it Possible to Be Married in the Eyes of God, but Not the State?
From the Show
Premarital sex, called fornication in Scripture, is not genuine love. It doesn’t come with commitment of the whole self to the other. It may come with stirring feeling and emotions, but that’s not love. That is a lie about love. Love is a commitment. If you haven’t made that commitment, then you aren’t entitled to the benefits that say, “you have become one flesh.” Love is saying, “Yes, I will care for you, I will love you. I will serve you for the rest of my life.”
— Michael Horton

3. How does a person know when they have been born again, as in John chapter 3?
4. Is it possible to be married in the eyes of God but not be married in the eyes of the state?
