do not divorce
Matthew 5:31-
Marriage is a blessing from God. God created a family through marriage. Therefore, marriage is a blessing from God. The Bible says it is a blessing from God to have a wife. Proverbs 18:22 Blessed is he who finds a wife, and he finds favor with the LORD. However, modern people are reluctant to get married, so there is a tendency to divorce easily even after getting married. It's really sad. But what is Jesus talking about divorce?
In a word, Jesus forbids divorce. Because divorce destroys God's blessings. Divorce doesn't end with just the parties breaking up. If you have children, the wounds they inflict on them will be a tremendous wound that cannot be healed. In the old days, our parents lived with patience because of their children, even though they worked hard. But now, they don't even think about their children, they only think about themselves, so there seems to be a lot of tendency to get divorced easily.
According to Statistics Korea, there were 327715 marriages in Korea in 2008. On the other hand, 1,16535 divorces were reported. Therefore, looking at the reasons for divorce, the personality difference in 2007 was the largest at 46.8%. And economic problems accounted for 13.6%, family discord 8%, spouse infidelity 7.8%, mental and physical abuse 4.8%
In today's passage, Jesus said again, "Whoever divorces his wife will give him a certificate of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife without the cause of fornication causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." You said Ini.
In today's text, the Pharisee asked Jesus in Matthew 19. Is it right for a man to abandon his wife for any reason?
Jesus who created man originally made them male and female, and said, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. Have you not read what God said? Therefore, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.
Your marriage has been ordained of God. Therefore, we should remember that the wife husband God has matched is the most ideal wife and husband. Therefore, we want to believe that God has matched my husband, my wife, and the most suitable and ideal person for me. Then the thought of getting a divorce will disappear.
The Pharisee asked, “Why then did Moses give the certificate of divorce and command it to be abandoned?
Jesus said to them, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it wasn't like that. I tell you, whoever divorces his wife and marries another, except for sexual immorality, commits adultery.
Folks, Jesus forbade divorce. What God has joined together, let no man separate. Therefore, you cannot divorce for any reason. Moses allowed it because of the stubbornness of the people, but he did not. However, they say that divorce is possible on the grounds of fornication. This is not to say that one mistake should lead to a divorce. Divorce when you can't get rid of fornication Therefore, it is said that even if you marry a divorced person, you commit adultery. So, no matter what, you shouldn't get a divorce.
