Once again, in order for you to understand this article, you must start at the beginning concerning this subject. Singleness is the most important state of human development. It is the foundation of God's design for the human family. This is why singleness is so important to the Lord God. It is a fundamental principle of His creative order for mankind. Traditionally, most of us have been taught that marriage is the foundation and basic building block of our society, and that society is falling apart because marriages are falling apart. Marriage, however is not the lowest common denominator of social human structure. God didn't begin the human race with a couple. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God began the human race with one human being. He made that one human being from the soil; the dust of the ground and afterward never returned to the soil to make another.
Now the first and most crucial step in the construction of any building is to lay a solid foundation. This requires great care because the foundation must be able to bear the weight of the entire completed structure. Any flaw or weakness in the foundation may cause the building eventually to sink, crack or even collapse.
In the Lord God's program for creation, He finished everything before He began. He has the end product complete in His Will and Purpose before He brings the atom of it into being. As He stated in His Constitution to His representative Isaiah: Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure. When God created the human family, He started with a single individual. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Adam was one individual, a single person who carried within him the seed for the entire human race. The foundation of all humanity was in one body, not two. At the very base of the human family structure lies a single unmarried being.
I trust that you are understanding this concept. I will continue in my next article. It is very important that you understand Single and Singleness.
