Bible Question: Will God bless a union if sex before marriage was involved? In other words, are marriages that involved pre-marital sex destined to fail as a punishment from God? |
Bible Answer: dear mmmsm, I think you are aware that premarital sex is unacceptable along with all the other adulterous acts we can commit. Marriage however is a holy union blessed by God. God does not want to punish anyone by having their marriage fail. Christ said that the only reason for divorce should be adultery. Because a person who is unfaithful to you, has no dedication to you. In this situation we have the right to divorce, whether we decide to or not is upto us. If you've been unfaithful to anyone it's God and he has chosen to forgive you if your seeking forgiveness. I believe it was Paul who said " it is better to married than to not be married and sin" I believe you where unmarried and sinning, now to be married you are not sinning. If the relation fails it was not due to destiny or punishment, but simply because there was little respect and love for each other, or at least enough to not keep each other pure. Your question has been very reflective for me, I had a relationship that envolved premarital sex and was hoping to marry the individual. Things happened and now she is engaged to someone else. I lost someone I loved, I hurt my Heavenly Father, and I lost an innocense that in this life is difficult to have again. I hope my advice makes some sense. your brother in Christ, H.A.M. |
