His desire was; to visualize the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church1; to meet men’s and women’s need for intimacy2, and finally to populate the earth with people who reflect His image3 . Because marriage is critical to God’s mission of redeeming the world, Satan has made its destruction a priority. His strategy is to undermine the importance of marriage, minimize the effect divorce will have on the family and seduce people to embrace an alternate lifestyle. Because God loves us, He has provided clear instructions on how married couples can experience oneness and fulfill His vision for their union4 . By means of His empowering Spirit and gospel of grace, He has provided not only the means needed to love and serve each other but also the forgiveness and healing needed when their marriages fall short or fall apart. And through His church, He has provided a community that can give counsel and support in restoring them. Application Points Biblical Grounds for Divorce God’s desire and design are for marriage to flourish for a lifetime. But in a fallen world, there will be cases when a person will break their vows and desert their mate. The Lord addresses these circumstances in His Word, providing two clear exceptions to His command to believers, not to divorce5 . The first biblical ground for divorce is adultery. When Jesus was asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”. Jesus reiterated the idea of one man and one woman in a personal, purposeful, and permanent relationship. “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”6 Then Jesus states clearly the exception, “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”7 The second biblical ground for divorce is desertion by an unbelieving mate. The Apostle Paul states, “If the unbelieving one (mate) leaves, let him leave; the brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.”8 If a believer is married to an unbeliever and the unbelieving mate wants to end the relationship (the word leave, chorizo, is a Greek term for divorce), the believer is not required (“under bondage”) to preserve the marriage. It is important to note that desertion usually entails the physical separation of a spouse by moving out of the marital home, but it can also include other forms of desertion of the marriage, including persistent and unrepentant abuse and addiction. In these cases, an offended mate has a biblical right to divorce their husband or wife. At the same time, they should seek the Spirit’s guidance and the wisdom of the Elders and Christian counselors in taking that step, cultivating a heart of forgiveness and an openness to relational reconciliation for the benefit of their family and to keep the door open to God’s purposes in the future. Nevertheless, the aggrieved spouse may come to regard the marriage as irreparably broken and pursue divorce. In this case, the elders of Fellowship will be supportive of the aggrieved spouse’s decision and minister to him or her without reservation. If God confirms their decision, the church will do everything in its power to stand with them and their family. Biblical Grounds for Remarriage Whether a Christian who has divorced their mate on biblical grounds is free to remarry is a question of scripture. Their spiritual status has not changed in any way in the eyes of the Lord or the church. Jesus gives permission for someone to remarry when adultery has taken place. “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman co","cbCaieZTkR0jhiQU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieZTkR0jhiQU","pdf",78604,6,"English","# Application Points\n## Biblical Grounds for Divorce\n## Biblical Grounds for Remarriage","[{\"question\":\"What does the text say is God’s purpose for marriage?\",\"answer\":\"Marriage is presented as an integral part of God’s plan, meant to flourish for a lifetime.
