Bible Question:
As a Christian we all know that God hates Divorce, and when a man or woman divorces their other half (other than marital unfaithfulness) and marries another, he/she commits adultery. My question is, given these situation. When a man divorces his wife and marries another and have children, and after, he and his second wife decided to be born again and accept God as their Savior, now knowing that they commited adultery and have sinned, what is the best way to solve their problem of adultery? now that they know that is it a sin that their living together. |
Bible Answer: In regards to your questions you ask how to solve the problem of adultery. I believe two wrongs don't make a right. You can't change the fact that you did get a divorce or sin you commited before you were saved. Once you have been saved all your sins have been forgiven and wiped clean by the blood of the Lamb. You would be unjust now to divorce again. But, since you remarried and made a vow before God and men to death due us part, then you are called to stay married. Now that you are saved that still doesn't mean there won't be consquences of your sin. You can realize what you did the first time and ask forgiveness and decide to move forward in faith with your new marriage in a God honoring way. If you look on in I Corinthians 7:24,28a Brethern, let each man remain with God in that condition in which he was called. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Once we come to Christ we are called to walk obediently. I hope this helps some. |
