God Hates Divorce

Mat 19:5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Mat 19:6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 


Mat 19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 


Mat 19:8  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

We are being taught by society that divorce is the solution to a marriage that is not working, however we need to understand that God hates divorce and never does he agree with it. God gave divorce as a escape to stop to people from ultimately kill each other. Divorce is Gods judgment mixed with mercy. God only gave divorce due to the hardness of the heart. My friend please understand that divorce is like Moses laying down the rod which is a type of the will of God. Marriage is Gods plan for man and woman and God never condones divorce for any reason other than for the hardness of the heart. Just as the rod in Moses hand became a writhing, destroying, venomous serpent so does divorce become a very destructive force as well. Anyone that has gone through a divorce involving children know that divorce destroys. Hardness of heart sets in and continues to grow more and more to the place where the sensitive heart is no longer in the relationship. The caring for each other is gone! It started with un-forgiveness. If the two could have just forgiven each other then their would have been healing and the marriage would have worked. Their is no such thing as a perfect marriage on this earth. We must learn to get along with our spouse and learn what to do and not to do to keep peace. If you say that you cannot forgive then you are telling on yourself that you have not excepted Jesus Christs forgiveness, When he said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." You see to forgive we must be forgiven. You might say, 'Well you don't know what they did.' But remember friend what Jesus did. Jesus said, "If you don't forgive, My heavenly Father will not forgive you." It all comes down to forgiveness! If you cannot or will not forgive then Jesus can help! Won't you except Jesus Christs forgiveness today and share His forgiveness with your spouse and everyone you know? Jesus said, "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. Joh 20:23
