Ask the Pastor with J.D. Greear

How Does God See Me If I Am Divorced?

Listen Later

Show Notes:

  • Divorce is not the unforgivable sin. Look at Jeremiah 3:8 where God says, “For all her adulteries, I gave faithless Israel a certificate of divorce.” God has the audacity to call himself a divorced person.
  • Now, of course, there was no sin on his side of the divorce, and maybe there was on yours. But in the cross and resurrection, Jesus puts away the sin done by you and he overturns the sin done to you.
  • I feel a special word for some people out there going through real marital trouble—God is going to do something amazing if you trust in him and give him time. He wants to do something amazing in your marriage that makes it far stronger and more beautiful than anything you’ve ever imagined—even better than when you were newlyweds.
  • God can bring beauty and redemption even out of our biggest mistakes if we trust it to him.
  • In the cross, we find forgiveness for the sins done by us and healing for the ones done to us.

    • The empty tomb is the answer for the empty soul ravaged by divorce.
