"Missing Ingredient-Part 1-Jesus Christ" By:Pastor Matt Frayer

                                                                    JOHN 3:16


With marriage, we are looking for a recipe of Happiness, Joy, and Peace.  With any recipe, if there is an ingredient missing, it just doesn't taste right.  Chocolate chip cookies, without chocolate chips, well we have a problem.  This is the same with a marriage. If something is missing, you know what I am talking about, leads to a bad day.

For the next several weeks, I am talking about some Ingredients that we need to make a marriage work.  The first one I am going to write about is the most important of all, and that is Jesus Christ.  You must be born again.  Without Him a marriage will never have that true Joy, and you will not have that firm foundation.

In the Scriptures, Matthew 7:24-27, we read about the Wise man and the Foolish man.  One built his house upon a Rock and the other on the sand.  The Wise man represents the saved man, and the Foolish man represents the lost man.  Which one are you?  The Wise man had the right foundation, and that is because he trusted Jesus Christ.

Have you put your Faith and Trust in the Savior?  God's simple plan of Salvation 1. Admit you are a sinner (Romans 3:10). 2. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ-ask for Forgiveness; let Him come into your heart (Acts 16:31).  3. Confess Jesus with your mouth-Tell people what you have done (Romans 10:9, 13). 

Now if you have put your Faith in Him before or just now, you have the most important ingredient in a marriage.  Without Christ we can do nothing.  Lets be on the Right Foundation today!  Jesus still saves sinners.  John 3:16, "For God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."
