Is Divorce A Sin?
Remember, whatever you study in this teaching, has it foundation on the Bible, from the Owner’s mouth. The words are not the writer’s words, except the Bible is not genuine, then you can doubt the words and teachings of Jesus Christ. There is no pure wisdom except that from above.
THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE WE ANSWER THE QUESTION “IS DIVORCE IS A SIN?”
Very Useful:
- God instituted marriage Himself to be successful.
- Marriage is not practiced in heaven. It is a gift to man to enhance procreation, by allowing nature have it course on the next
- Marriage is a conditional covenant, so people have choices to make. Some people may decide to marry, some may decide not to marry and some were even created never to marry and this lifestyle is called celibacy. Jesus spoke of it. Matthew 19:11-12 “But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
- Man is the master in marriage, except he decides to exhibit the Esauic behavioral attitude probably because of good food, sex or satanic manipulations.
- In marriage it is well understood that the wife is to only serve her husband in all aspect in submission as her husband reciprocates her submissive services in a loving manner. It is true that in marriage the wife is accountable to her husband as the husband his accountable to God.
- Jesus gave us the standard of marriage and one unique solution that answers if not all, greater percentage of life situations. Matthew 6:24 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Luke 16: 13 “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other…” Since the Bible defines wives to be subject to their husbands, Jesus also implies “No wife can serve two husbands: for either she will hate the one, and love the other; or else she will hold to the one, and despise the other…”
- Do you know that the master that is hated can as well send the servant away? The origin of divorce is from the principle of the “master and servant” relationship.
- God has not wished divorce in human marriage as He has also not wished that we divorce our relationship with Him.
- Marriage was originally meant without divorce.
- Every marriage is blessed with a general aim to make success.
- Marriage is a TREASURE, a gift from God Himself.
- Any married person that fails to value marriage as a treasure will certainly lose it.
- INVEST your marriage and let it speak to the world.
- A talking marriage is unique evangelical tool to the local Church.
- Marriage in its reciprocating state is a gift to the local Church.
- The local Church will fail if marriage fails and this is the very reason why couples ought to be taught marriage they way it ought be as it has always been from the ancient because Jesus neither changed the standard nor his disciples of old.
- Marriage is like a crop farm that will certainly have weeds competing with the crops, removing the weeds without caution and systematic process, will probably destroy part or whole of the crop (marriage).
- Don’t force your spouse to change but invest your spouse by talking him or her into change through wisdom.
- Love should be the foundation of every marriage after knowing your spouse convincingly, not perfectly before consummation and during marital life and at old age.
- It is a marital and biblical standard that wives lovingly submit first to their husbands in all, as they can also talk their husbands not to get involve in treachery. 1 Peter 3:1-7, 1 Timothy 5:14-15,

- It is a marital and biblical standard that husbands reciprocate the love-based submissiveness of their wives with practical, emotional, mental, material and spiritual love.
- No spouse can ever understand all about the partner, till death does them apart. New attitude surfaces probably occasionally; you must learn how to accept your spouse for whom they are and through wisdom, affect them positively or tame some behaviours that you don’t like except the attitudes are life threatening and life taking, and the spouse is not willing to change as only God has the power to recreate anew in your spouse’s life.
- You must apply sense of humor in some areas of your marital relationship as practically responding to all actions at home can crack the love.
- According to the Biblical standard, female dominance over a man is blasphemy against God’s word. Titus 2:4-5 “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
- Divorce is better than having a dominant wife than to continue in blasphemy. It understand that you have been taught repeated that God hates divorce, this is true when couples who were was commanded by standard of God’s words maintain their respective rights in the marriage. It is more obedient to God for a man to divorce a dominant wife than to continue in blasphemy.
- Some displayed negative attitudes are bearable while some are not because they are life threatening both physically and spiritually; with this, marriage can lead you to hell fire if not managed properly. Your spouse is also part of your body that might probably make you go to hell fire. It was this teaching of Christ that apostle Paul got his theology when he said the unbelieving partner can go that wishes to go. Matthew 5:29-30 and 1 Corinthians 7:15
- Divorce is not a sin as an action carried out by one partner because it was originally used as a tool to chastise an unclean or unfaithful partner in marriage but if the fails to repent, even with the divorce then it divorce is not reconciled. Just as Jesus wished to present the Church to his Father as a spotless bride without wrinkles, so his earthly man. God hates uncleanliness – Deuteronomy 23:9-14; so the church must be clean, husbands and wives must be clean in their matrimonial state.
Hosea 2:2 “Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her
sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts” Read: Jeremiah 3:8; Isaiah 50:1. Although, Hosea and the other books mentioned here points to the spiritual infidelity of the Israelites in the worship of strange gods and other uncleanliness but thank God, the physical act of marriage unfaithfulness was used to pass a message to the nation of Israel.
Is Divorce a Sin? DID YOU KNOW?
- That an effective Christian couples’ marriage enhances effective evangelism, so the local church first started in the home setting. Every local church started with the family (father, Mother, Children, Relatives, etc.)
- That a successful marriage is a breakthrough in spiritual warfare. Ecclesiastes 4:12, Matthew 18:19, Deuteronomy 32:30
- That the successful state of marriage affects the spiritual life of the spouses. That is the spiritual life of a Christian (individual) also depends on the success of the marriage. It is with this reason apostle Paul admonished the virgins, that it is better to remain virgins, if they can. 1 Corinthians 7
- That marriage founded on God’s love and operates in the power of the love will certainly face no divorce, except there is a crack that has allowed the entering of marital pollutants.
- That marriage founded on God’s love is not the same as Christian marriage, as there is no Christian marriage in the Bible but a revelation marriage of the universal church to the Lamb of God. Marriage founded on God’s love could be traditional alone or legal not necessarily in the local church auditorium, provided the both spouses loved themselves without any condition as God’s love is unconditional.
