Marriage & Singleness Are Gifts With Purpose

In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul responds to the Corinthians' concerns about marriage, singleness, and life after marriage within a morally corrupt culture. He teaches that both marriage and singleness are gifts from God, not based on personal preference but divine calling. The gift of marriage, Paul explains, can lead to practical blessings such as greater peace, protection from sexual immorality, and the potential for a spouse or children to come to faith. He also notes that being in the will of God—whether married or single—leads to less anxiety and greater joy, as we walk in alignment with His grace and purpose.
