AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 4:22 "For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been kept secret, but that it would come to light [that is, things are hidden only temporarily, until the appropriate time comes for them to be known]. [Matt 10:26-33; Luke 12:2-9] |
Bible Question: I am not sure what the Bible says about asking other for forgiveness. I know that we must repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness but what if the sin affects another. If one is to comitt adultery and her spouse doesn't know but she has repented of it before the Lord, What is he responsibility to her partner? Does she need to tell him and then ask for his forgiveness as well? |
Bible Answer: Adultery is a sin taken seriously by God. It is the breaking of a covenant and a rupture of two souls once united. Yes God forgives but man most often doesn't along these lines. What you have to learn is why did you do it? What part of you needed affirmation that you could not obtain from your spouse. Adultery carries with it an intense guilt that even God's forgiveness will not erase. Telling your spouse is necessary because you sinned against God and the spouse. To allow it to lay in the dark will only build up a festering place in you that will affect your health, your mariage and your future. There are always serious issues in a marriage that finally comes to this point. Your spouse may forgive you but even then God would call us to wise counsel to help overcome the problems. If your spouse decides to not forgive, then you and God must ride that storm together. He will not forsake you but may allow you to feel the full impact of your actions. God bless you. |
