1 | Can God free us of the weight of sin | Mark 9:43 | yosemitepaul | 202369 | ||
If one engages in pre-marital realations(short of intercourse)with a woman; can that couple stay together and be given a "second chance" at a Godly relationship if they condemn their sins and repent with a sincere heart? Can God drive out the pornographic images that they have of each other, and allow them to have some sense of spiritual virginity? Or are they condemned to have to leave each other because they are always brought back to those places through uncomfortable physical and emotional feelings when they are around each other? Is that the weight we must carry for our sins? Is it possible for God to free us of that? | ||||||
2 | Can God free us of the weight of sin | Mark 9:43 | lionheart | 202370 | ||
yosemitepaul, Greetings and welcome to the forum. When you say premarital relationship do you mean the two of you are living together, sleeping together??? There is no easy answer to your question without you making some very critical decisions regarding God and His Word. Look at Mark 9:42-50. What is your heart when it comes to dealing with sin. Is this your heart? 2 Corinthians 7:8-11. Repentance will be key for the both of you. Have you been open about this with your Pastor or any of the brothers. Have you sought out advice and Godly council? Don't be signing a contract for failure. We serve and walk with a God of second chances and He's given me more than my fair share. What are you gonna do? It's up to you. In Him, lionheart |

3 | Can God free us of the weight of sin | Mark 9:43 | yosemitepaul | 202373 | ||
Thanks for the response lionheart. I have recently broken off a relationship in which I committed sexual sin. There was no intercourse; I have admitted my sin before the men of my church and have repented sincerely. It kills me that I hurt the girl I was with, and still care about more than anyone else in the world.My question is whether God can free us of the sin in a relationship and allow us to continue in that relationship provided that we condemn our sin and rely on His strength to keep us pure. The brothers of my church believe that our relationship cannot be allowed to continue, as it will always be tainted and always remind us of our sinful past. Can God give us a second chance in this relationship? | ||||||

yosmitepaul, I don't know if it's a matter of allowing the relationship to continue as much as a matter of it being wise to do so. Think of 1 John 1:9. God forgives, it's the conciqueces that we oft times still have to deal with and this may be one of those times for you. Read Hebrewa 12:2-11. All things are possible with God. Yes God can give a second chance here but it doesn't mean he will or has to. Remember this God will always give us what we need and it will always be for His glory and our best. In Him, lionheart |
