Bible Question:
I have a question, in reference to divorce and remarry. Question: I am a mother of 3 young children. I am going through a divorce. I was involved in a sexual relatioship with another man due to the fact that my husband ignored me and sometimes got into heated violence towards me. My husband found out that I was in a relationship with another man. We have filed for divorced. I have been trying to work our relationship back to normal. Plus I still love my husband. But my husband will not accept me back. My husband is a strong christian and goes to church and even quotes me scriptures. But at the same time my husband calls me real nasty names, in front of my children. My husband keeps telling me that I must confess my sins to him, I asked him if I confess my sins to you, will you take me back. He states that he will not. I guess my question is once my divorce is final, could I ever remarry and be happy. Or am I condemed for life due to the fact of commiting adultry. Plus will God ever forgive me. I have since commited myself and my children to the baptish church. Please help me in this matter, I am afraid that I will never get to go to heaven and be with my children. |
Bible Answer: It is very sad that your whole family have to go through the frustration of an affair and a divorce. A mistake was made on your part but it seems to me that you have repented yourself, but cannot find forgiveness from your husband, to tell you the truth I wouldn't forgive my husband if he was to have an affair on me, but then again, I might, because I love him away too much and because I have God in me, and I know that God's spirit in me can and will forgive him. If Your Husband has God's spirit in him, he might be able to forgive you, but then again, God might be wanting you to go on your own way, and is calling you elsewhere. I would not worry about God not forgiving me, God forgive us all, that's why Jesus Christ died in the cross, to save us all. Yes, He will judge us, but He is also our Father and our Protector, and the one you have to confess your sins to. Talk to God, pray to Him, confess your sins to Him, be sorry for spotting His name and humiliating Him. He is the only one that matters in this case, His name has been stained by the affair and the divorce, and you need to ask Him for his forgiveness and be in peace with Him. Do not leave Him, nor forsake Him, get closer to Him. He will get closer to you and will forgive you. Nobody else matters, and no one else has the right to judge you, only God does., and only God and yourself are the only ones that actually know what it is that really happened. John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. I would not worry about the future or about getting marry again, God will provide and will draw up your future. Just do not leave Him, no matter what, do not go elsewhere or stop going to church. Cling to Him, prey to Him, read the bible daily. Solve your problem the best possible way you can without staining God's name any longer. Matt 6:34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Remember, no one can judge you, only God can. James 4:12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor? And for the people who are judging you right now? Keep the following verse to yourself, don't accuse them or justify yourself in front of them. You don't have to. Just justify yourself in front of God. Smile at those people and continue with your life the best possible way you can, thinking always about our God and Father, who is in heaven. Rom 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. We will be judged in the flesh for our mistakes, but we will live in the spirit with God. 1 Pet 4:6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God. Many blsssings to you and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be with you. Martha, |
