Bible Question: My wife divorsed me and I' determined to get her back because I still love her and she loves me. She is afraid to get back into the marriage because to fear of being hurt all over again. She as had bad relationships in the past and says that God told her to get a divorse. I understand her fears but having big problem being alone .Please give me scriptures to help in my situation. |
Bible Answer: *(Mat 5:31) It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: *(Mat 5:32) 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. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary 1Co 7:1-9 - The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act. God Bless George |
