Bible Question:
I have committed Adultry againt God and my wife and I need help in spiritually dealing with it. I may lose my wife and family beause of it, I did not intentionally do this, I just used bad judgement. The girl was 17 and I am 55. There are human reasons, but a sin is a sin. I don't want to lose all I have and sometimes, i have good days an bad days dealing withit. You see I've never humbled myself to the degree I have to at this time. I have always been in control of me and now I have no control over what will happen. I am in fatih based church, but its only been aabout 90 days since I've had to act in this way. I have court because of it and I want to know if GOD will really forgive me and restore my family and all the things I have lost, if I seek His kingdom first. My faith is strong sometimes and weak at other times.Besides that I need as much prayer as possible. Thank you Thomas Council elevator51@yahoo.com |
Bible Answer: Greetings, "I may lose my wife and family beause of it, I did not intentionally do this, I just used bad judgement. The girl was 17 and I am 55. There are human reasons, but a sin is a sin". Yes, you may lose your wife and family, and yes, you did do this intentionally, and no, you used no judgement whatsoever. And considering your ages, you could be charged legally! However, I'm not here to beat you up, but we have an adversary, the devil, who will destroy you and attack you at your most weakest areas of your life. The Word of God says, Mat 10:39 "He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.(NASB) My friend, God is a God of a second chance, but you need to be willing to surrender ALL areas of your life to Him, so God can restore you. The written Word also states "Rom 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (NASB) God does not condem you, nor does He condon your actions. God has a purpose and a plan for your life, and He wants to fulfill it, your first duty is to repent to God then your wife. God has called us to live in Peace. Seek council from your pastor or those whom you are accountable to. God loves you, so do I and I'll be in agreement with you in prayer. No matter what the outcome may be, you'll be right with God, and if God be for you, who can be against you! God bless |
