HARKENING BACK TO NOAH

HARKENING BACK TO NOAH

… But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to dwell with him, do not let him put her away. And the woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is pleased to dwell with her, do not let her leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. … (MKJV 1Cor. Chapter7)



  As a new believer the apostle Paul’s knowledgeable family advice to the church at Corinth puzzled me initially, especially the KJV “sanctified”. Then, duh, I too observed that a gracious John 3:3 born-again believing spouse does “set apart” their family. Then this morn I awoke with the Bible passage on my mind with further insight: The brief sentence “Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.”
