Bible Question: About 5 years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I committed adultry and am currently paying the price (or so it seems). My husband has been caught in lies about speaking to another woman so I am unsure if he is feeling guilty or if he is using the past as an excuse to leave me. I have asked for forgiveness from the Lord and my husband, I am still troubled by guilt which I am currently praying about. My question is, even though I have layed my sin before the Lord and my husband said, origionally that he forgave me and would never leave me, does he still have permission in Gods eyes regardless if I repented or not? Assuming he is not doing anything wrong and he is legitimately still hurt and angry over our past situation... I just wondered what Gods position may be on this so that I might find some understanding. |
Bible Answer: Ho Kimommy, welcome to the forum. I agree with Ed that you should seek out some spiritual person whom you can trust that you can discuss this with. Are you sure that you are not reading your feeling of guilt into your husband's behaviour? If he was only speaking to another woman that is not necessarily something to get suspicious about. Are you sure that your suspicions are well grounded? Your very feeling of guilt might be bringing strains into your marriage. If your husband specifically forgave you then he should stand by his commitment. It would seem to me that having made the decision not to see your adultery as a grounds for divorce God would see him as bound by that decision. For God forgives us as we forgive. And once He has forgiven He does not change His mind. I am presuming that you are both committed Christians? Presumably you have not discussed this with your husband? Perhaps that is something that you ought to do. At least you would then know where you stood. And he may well be shocked that you still doubt him. May God help you to be wise.. |
