Bible Question: There is so many view points on Divorce with regards to the christian, |
Bible Answer: Ann Creed:I ask my self why is Ann asking this? I can think of a lot of possibilities, but I do not know. I could offer all kinds of advise, and in some cases justify your divorce. But that still has not answered your basic question. So I will try to tell you about Gods deep love, and how much He loves you, Ann! Let me start out that I believe God hates dinorce! Divorce is a sin, no if's and's or but's about it. Please note God hates the sin, not the sinner! There is a big difference. God's Word says, we reap what we sow. That is an absolute truth. I hope you have a Bible. Turn to Romans 8: now, read verses 31 to 39. please dont read on until you have read these verses, ok? In verse 39 is there anything that can stop God from loving you? NO! The word depth, means the nost horrable thing you can imagine! No matter how backslidden you have fallen, God still loves you! For me that is overwhelming to understand. Now turn to 1 John 1:9 Divorce is a sin! Lets call sin a sin. Do you agree so far? If so, confess all the sins you know that you need to tell Jesus. For some, like me, this may take some time. Ask Jesus to have the Holy Spirit make known to you, sin you may have forgotten. Now as you become aware of sins, confess them. Believe me this will happen if you ask and are sincere. Now the Word says that if you have made Christ Lord, He forgives us, and makes us clean!. We are not told to ask for forgiveness, but to confess our sin. He does the forgiving as a promise. NO where in scripture does it say because you are divorced as a Christian you will go to hell! The only thing that a person chooses to go to hell for, is rejecting Jesus Christ as their Lord. If there is any way, and neither of you has remarried, I encourage you to go to a Christian Counselor, who is a licensed, degreed Christian. I pray for God'd wisdom in your life, agape, justme |
