The first recorded sermon ever preached is found in the book of Genesis. By typical standards, it wasn’t a very long message. It is only forty six words long. The topic was marriage. It was delivered by the first man, Adam.
The same message on marriage was repeated thousands of years later by Christ Jesus the Lord, and so we know God has not changed the definition of marriage, nor altered His design. Adam woke from godly anesthesia after God took a rib from him to create Eve.
Here is the sermon:
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 2:23-24)
It is interesting the beginning of mankind was marked with this sermon on God’s design for marriage, and the end of mankind is being marked by mankind’s endorsement of the opposite.
The anti-marriage foreshadows the rise of the Antichrist. He seeks to join that which should not be joined, and to separate that which should remain together. Proponents of same sex ‘marriage’ are high, and divorce rates are even higher.
