NRABV Pt 2 – Week 9: Divorce

While divorce is painful and not God’s original design, it is not an unforgivable sin. In Matthew 19 marriage is described as a covenant relationship where “two become one flesh” rather than a consumer relationship that can be easily terminated. God’s purpose in marriage is not happiness but holiness – teaching us to love like Christ loves us, even when it’s difficult. There is hope for those who have experienced divorce; God still offers grace and redemption. God can redeem even the most broken situations. God’s love is unconditional and the cross provides both forgiveness for sins committed and healing for sins suffered.
