Nr. 441: What should a Christian do if your spouse is cheating or fail in other ways?

Nr. 441:

What should a Christian do if your spouse is cheating or fail in other ways?

God's word in clear, forceful and answers is possible to follow in God's mercy and help. Whether living alone or reconcile, here comes the forgiveness as the key above all else. Jesus speaks to forgive seventy times seven. Jesus forgave the woman caught in adultery that we read about in John. e 8

Paul taught on this subject, although it is a difficult and sensitive topic

1 Cor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband; 11 but she is separated from him when she vedbli being unmarried or reconciled with her husband - and that a man to separate himself from his wife.

For a Christian married couples have only two options learns font. It is either to conciliate, which I recommend and which is the best way. Or live single. But how to reconcile? Here are two things I would recommend. One is prayer, discussion and guidance in community with others and alone. And forgiveness from both parties if only one has been unfaithful. Forgiveness is the key element for restoration.

1) Prayer, conversation and guidance with others and alone.

This is advice number one from me and God. The most neglected chat forums in both secular and Christian context, those with marital problems. There are also children, grandchildren and a whole family in the picture. There is nothing that is more important and more significant than that spouses remain married for life. This is the most viable way for everyone involved. We can not deny the fact that in some critical situations in life need than a third party. So my number one request, seek help. But you are encouraged to either stand and find a new partner, then you must rid yourself of the "help". Have unfortunately heard more than once that the believer receives the advice to divorce and find a new partner, this is Satan disguised as an angel of light.

2) Forgiveness is the key element for restoration.

After a break, they need restoration, here is forgiveness crucial in the restoration. Jesus spoke to forgive seventy times seven.

Matt. 18. 21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord! how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? as much as seven times? 22 Jesus said to him, I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven.

Is your spouse cheating or otherwise it will break up the scripture and the New Testament is clear in its teaching. You will forgive if it's talking about repeatedly, to forgive and show magnanimity. But that does not mean that one should live together before the other has repented.

If the other fails and you remain faithful, we have God's word and promises that there will be reconciliation, Hosea the prophet Hosea is a brilliant and very good example of it.

From my view the Bible commentaries Hosea:

Hosea was to go out to get out and marry a "prostitute wife", ie a hierodul, a sacred prostitute associated with a fertility cult. Hosea's wife Gomer was probably associated with Baal cult that temple prostitute, but the text stated that this did not happen until after their three children were born that she was true to him. The law required that a man divorced from a cheating wife, but Hosea must have been fond of Gomer, and the loss of her must have been a devastating experience that gave Hosea insight into God's alleged pain of seeing his chosen people cheating with gods Baal. He followed her and ransomed her from her new master. So he thought that even God would forgive his people and give Israel a second chance. Hosea said that since the covenant Yahweh had taken over the fire place and married Israel, whom he wooed to her. Hosea was faith against Gomer, even though she gave birth to his first three "illegitimate" children before he even had children with her. This shows again and again if and when one remains true even when the other fails so does God.

Final Comment: File 1:9 I pray dog ​​either, for love's sake. Such as I am, the old Paul, but now also prisoner of Christ Jesus.

It is not so necessary if one believes the same lifetime, if not change his default. I have always and still think that everything that is written is God's word and it is done for:

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is innblest of God by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for optuktelse justice.

To the older I get, I think really only one road that is passable when we really impossible to know the reason why there is a break up basis. It is that the person / remarried as believers should be thrown out of the church and on the way to go in themselves as they lead sin, impurity and unchristian lives forward. Marriage is an invalid marriage of a believer, it is only the first, until death that gives a fair and biblical evidence for remarriage. Even before that, it is adultery! Then every test itself, a measure up! Tilgivel have to wait and see. And faith and hope, that the amazing party also will come back to God, and to those who are scorned! This is and remains more and more my simple and clear perception. That there are only two ways that faith in a marriage: "For a Christian married couples have only two options learns font. It is either to conciliate, which I recommend and which is the best way. Or live single. "!
