The
apostle Paul admonished the saints in Christ in the church at Ephesus
to be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit. This rightly
raises the question in the mind of the believer just how does one
preserve the unity of the Spirit? Is it possible to understand and
teach this unity with words and expressions that are not shrouded in
vague and dubious language? There is a challenge and a need to
understand and teach these things freely given to us by God. These
things, the apostle Paul said, we are to teach by combining (I
Corinthians 2:13) spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

King David and Bathsheba, foreign wives, being unequally yoked, and marriage, divorce, and remarriage
Thesis: The sin and the forgiveness of King David and Bathsheba's sin of adultery by the LORD God holds some important lessons for our understanding. It represents an important lesson for Christians to understand on the harmony of the mercy and forgiveness of the LORD God from the law of Moses, to the teachings of Jesus, and to the teachings of the apostle Paul on marriage, divorce and remarriage. This understanding is more than a mere cerebral, academic, scholarly exercise. It concerns the obedience of the faith through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus by those who are adversely affected by the intimate, interpersonal human experiences of marriage, divorce, and remarriage today.
Key word forms: accept, others, breakup, put away, gift, given
