How do we know the Bible's teaching on marriage is true?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible's teaching on marriage is affirmed through Scripture's consistent revelation and Jesus' authoritative teachings.

The truth of the Bible's teaching on marriage can be discerned through its consistent message across the Old and New Testaments, which emphasizes the sacred nature and permanence of the marital covenant. Genesis 2:24 establishes the foundational principle that marriage is a divine institution, and Jesus affirms this in His teachings (Mark 10:6-9). The authority with which Jesus speaks about marriage, referencing creation, underscores His commitment to uphold God's original design.

Additionally, the historical theologies and interpretations upheld by the church throughout centuries provide continuity and support for these teachings. The nature of God as a covenant-keeping God is a recurrent theme in Scripture, reflected in marriage, which is intended to symbolize the deeper relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25-32). Therefore, the truth of the biblical understanding of marriage is not merely an abstract doctrine but is rooted in the character of God and the redemptive narrative of Scripture.
