Discipling the Undisciplined no. 12
“It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery” (Matthew 5:31-32). God is all about keeping His promises and Jesus emphasizes that people are responsible for keeping their promises as well. Marriage is a promise not just to your spouse BUT also to God. And yet folks want to redefine marriage and make marriage into all sorts of other things. BUT maybe those folks should not be looking for God to cosign on their promises?
I think Paul gets the warning rather succinctly in his letter to the Galatians, “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith” (Galatians 6:7-10). Folks are warned. Folks have been told. And we continue to tell them. They just need to listen. We all reap what we sow. We all stand in judgment. We all get judged.
Grace and Shalom to your home.
