Subject: Need help with adultry and remarriage. |
Bible Note: Many people use the bible to their advantage. My first thought is that this man took you and isn't really worried about living according to scripture. Hopefully he has been truly repentant. When you say you became involved, I take it you mean sexually. If you are a believer, and know what you did is wrong, you are on the road to healing. Pray, read the Word. Ask God for forgiveness and to reveal what He wants for you. God forgives adultery. If you believe it was wrong and you really want His forgiveness, He will give it. Don't worry about supporting this man in his belief. Stay away from him. Severe all ties. Let God wash that past away in His time. Seek Him with your whole heart. When you meet other men, they should meet all biblical standards before you consider them. And don't let them just say it. You need to see Christ in them. Ask for God's man. I thought I was very "in love" at one time. We often spent hours discussing the Bible, pouring over the Bible. I prayed often for God's will and God's man. Getting ready for church one Sunday I felt God tell me he wasn't it and I had to break it off. I argued with God for a long time that morning. I ended with - Your will, Father. Somehow managed to go to church, sit with this gentleman, and even have lunch with him. I didn't tell him my experience. I did make myself to busy for awhile and soon he moved on. I was lonely but knew it was God's will. I wasn't even sure that this man wouldn't come back into my life. A few years later, on my wedding day, I remembered that experience! And thanked God, for the man He brought me. In answer to your last question - yes, it matters that the man is truly living for God. Sexual sin happens even between Christians - so beware. If you can put God first, the rest will follow. God bless you! |
