“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” Matthew 5:31-32
Jesus only gave one good reason for
divorce – sexual immorality. Now, could
that mean a single one-night stand is grounds for divorce. No.
How about 300 one-night stands?
More likely. What about flirting with
an old boyfriend online? No. What about moving into that old boyfriend’s
apartment? More likely. But if a person surrenders to Jesus and is
willing to be shaped and taught by truth, any marriage can be rescued. There’s not a whole lot one can do if a
person moves out and into another relationship.
There’s a lot that God can do if two people surrender to him.
