Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage for Christians

It is a source of great sorrow that in the society we live in today the breakdown of marriage is a commonplace phenomenon, and even more sadly marital breakdown is regularly encountered in Christian families as well. As a result, there are multitudes of Christian folk whose lives are affected by divorce and remarriage with the accompanying guilt, hurt and shame; and also, regrettably, the sometimes unfair and ill-thought-out condemnation from fellow believers who do not fully comprehend the issues.

The end of a marriage, whilst not being what God would have intended, is not the unpardonable sin and God's compassion, goodness and forgiveness are so far-reaching that, although the consequences of the failure of a marriage can be extensive and last a lifetime, by His grace and mercy He does enable His suffering people to move on to live fulfilled lives.

The question of precisely what are the permissible grounds for divorce has been the subject of endless controversy and debate, with one end of the spectrum saying that divorce is never permissible under any circumstances whatsoever, to the other extreme where all sorts of shallow excuses are allowed. Neither of these views to the writer's mind can be correct.

In this discourse the writer has endeavoured to steer a clear, but biblically sound, middle course, bearing in mind on one hand God's holy character which loathes divorce, and on the other takes into account His love and compassion for fallen sinful mankind whom He loves with an unfathomably deep love.
