Bible Question (short): repentance first then reconcile |
Question (full): "He in no way condoned her sin, but He did forgive her sin, when she gave evidence of godly sorrow and determination not to sin again in this way. Under such conditions, His followers would do well to follow His example. At least in this particular context, He put no further conditions on her freedom, either to return to her husband if he would have her, or to marry another if she were already divorced." so, if i am understanding this correctly, if the offender spouse repents, the offended may allow a reconciliation. If there is no repentance, there could be no reconciliation - the heart hardness remains.It would be of no value if the original problem has not been worked out. thank you Am i understanding correctly? |
