Only Fornication Can Separate Marriage
Saturday 22nd March
Text: Deuteronomy 24:1-4
Key verse: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:2.
In the New Testament, there is no chance for divorce. Divorce and remarriage is only allowed in the case of fornication and not adultery, because someone who is already married does not commit fornication but adultery. The Bible gives an account of a woman who was caught in adultery, and they brought her to Jesus. They said, “Moses commanded that we should stone her with stones until she dies.” It is even above divorce. And Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her. You caught her in adultery; where is the man she committed the act with? You caught the woman and did not bring the man?” Because they knew their lives, they were convicted of their lies, anger, and malice. “I do not condemn your marriage, go back to your marriage, only do not sin again. I do not condemn you. Go and serve God and do not commit sin again. I have given you the power of righteousness. Go and live a righteous life.” So, do not say you divorced a woman because she committed adultery. No. What is adultery? Jesus said, he that is without sin among you, meaning adultery is like any other sin.
If you would divorce a woman for adultery, then you can divorce her for taking alcohol, for telling lies, for smoking, for being an angry woman, or for being a witch. Many people will choose a woman who commits adultery rather than a woman who is a witch. If you cannot divorce her for being a witch, why should you divorce her for being an adulteress? No sin qualifies to cancel the marriage, except for fornication, which is between the unmarried. Maybe, when engaged, the example of Joseph with Mary his espoused wife, that is, engaged wife. If after your marriage you discovered that she is a man's wife, what sin are you committing with her? Fornication. Release that woman to go, so that the fornication can stop.
Thought For The Day: Adultery is like any other sin, so cannot cancel marriage
Song For The Day: Jesus the way, the truth and the life, whosoever cometh to Him
Bible Reading For The Day: 1 Samuel 1-3
