It is a situation which may be seen as giving Christians, and especially Christian marriages, a valuable opportunity to bear witness to biblical truth. The way in which Dr. Lloyd-Jones, like the Apostle Paul, deals with marriage relationship, is extremely important &#8212; to attempt to deal with Christian practice apart from Christian doctrine is to tread a dangerous path. As these chapters on Ephesians make clear, the only Christianity powerful enough to penetrate and change society is that which is derived from the work of the Spirit of God.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Publisher\u2019s Introduction<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Basic Principles<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>The Order of Creation<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>The Analogy of the Body<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>True Love<\/td>\n<td>55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>The Bride of Christ<\/td>\n<td>71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>The Purification of the Bride<\/td>\n<td>87<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>The Marriage Supper of the Lamb<\/td>\n<td>105<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>One Flesh<\/td>\n<td>121<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>The Bride\u2019s Privileges<\/td>\n<td>137<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>The Husband\u2019s Duties<\/td>\n<td>153<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>Transformed Relationships<\/td>\n<td>171<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thechristianpundit.org\/2012\/03\/28\/christian-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Review by Rebecca VanDoodewaard<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/uk\/resources\/book-review-resources\/2012\/review-christian-marriage\/\">Review by Mary Bartholomew<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These eleven sermons on Ephesians 5:22-33 examine Christian marriage \u2018from basic principles to transformed relationships\u2019. 200pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1249],"product_tag":[5595],"class_list":{"0":"post-434","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-christian-living","7":"product_tag-ebooks","8":"pa_binding-ebook","9":"pa_binding-paperback","10":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","11":"pa_class-bp","12":"pa_era-20th-century","13":"pa_format-book","14":"pa_isbn-3011","15":"pa_original-pub-date-2072","16":"pa_page-count-3012","17":"pa_recent-pub-date-mar-1-2012","18":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-6134","19":"pa_scripture-ephesians","20":"pa_subtitle-from-basic-principles-to-transformed-relationships","21":"pa_theauthor-lloyd-jones-d-martyn","22":"pa_topic-marriage-family","24":"first","25":"instock","26":"purchasable","27":"product-type-variable","28":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
