TEXT: MATTHEW 5 :31-32
TOPIC: JESUS SPEAKS ON DIVORCE
KEY VERSE: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:32
Marriage is sacred and binding. It is an institution ordained by God to last forever till death set apart but there are situations whereby God permit divorce. This permission is based on circumstances but it is never in his plan for couple to go separate ways
Jesus again corrected the teachings of the Pharisees and Scribes. Jesus said divorce is not acceptable except for unfaithfulness. This does not implies that divorce should automatically takes place when a spouse commits adultery. The Greek word translated unfaithful suggests a sexually immoral lifestyle,not a confessed and repented act of adultery.
Those who find out that their spouse has been unfaithful should first make every effort to forgive, reconcile and heal their relationship. As believers we should always look for reasons to restore the marriage relationship instead of looking for excuses to leave it because God hates divorce.
Prayer: Father keep my marriage from divorce and separation in Jesus name
