So let’s discuss what the Bible talks about concerning Divorce. Jesus appears to say that divorce is allowed only if adultery has occurred. Whoever divorces a wife, except for sexual indecency, and remarries, commits adultery'' (Matthew 19:9). However, this has been interpreted in many different ways. Most say that Jesus allows divorce only for adultery. Which is true according to scripture but this was a question posed to Jesus. We are reminded by the scripture that Moses went before God to discuss Divorce. God permitted divorce under the law of Moses. Jesus said it was “because of your hardness of heart” (Matthew 19:8) an expression referring to unresponsive stubbornness, expressed both in rebellion toward God and disregard toward humans. As Israel repeatedly showed hardness of heart, God gave them more laws, including ones about divorce. These laws were both a concession to human weakness and a protection for those with hard-hearted spouses. A parallel example of a divine concession is human kingship in Israel. This, too, was contrary to God’s perfect will, yet he permitted it and ultimately used it for his glory and for human flourishing.
As we become more like Christ through sanctification our need for community increases. We need people to walk in the light with as you pursue a closer relationship with Jesus.
We pray that this message brings understanding and clarity, remain blessed and keep pushing toward the mark of the high calling in your life.
