The Glory Of A New-Covenant Marriage - Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker contrasts the nature of marriage under the Old Covenant with the ideal established by Christ in the New Covenant. He argues that while Old Testament marriages often suffered from division, conflict, and divorce due to hard hearts, the New Covenant aims to make husband and wife 'one flesh,' mirroring God's original design. This transformation requires the Holy Spirit to remove the 'hard heart of stone' and replace it with a soft heart, as prophesied in Ezekiel 36.

Zac Poonen · Oct 12, 2020
The speaker contrasts the old and new covenants, emphasizing that the new covenant elevates family life, particularly the relationship between husband and wife. He stresses that in the new covenant, husbands must live with their wives in an understanding way, treating her as a fellow heir of grace. Furthermore, wives are encouraged to be submissive, using their behavior rather than just words to draw their husbands closer to God.
