A Divorce- Christians Also Go Through It

Divorce is something that thousands of people face every day. This also includes Christians. The debate in the Christian community over divorce is strong and diverse. Many believe divorce is unacceptable as stated by the Lord. However many others believe it is acceptable under certain circumstances. 

In a divorce Christian faith can be tested and it can be hard to know what to belief with so many conflicting statements. However Christianity is all about faith, and more contemporary Christians acknowledge that reality does not quite go according to God's plan. We, as Christian are the cause for that as we so often go into marriage without seeking God's advice.

It is our duty as God's people to try our best to live our lives as God would want.

1. God gave us a free will

Humans have free will and part of having free will is making mistakes and adapting over time. If God did not want us to evolve he would not have given us the ability to do so. Even though God gave us free will out of love does not mean we should not seek His advice.

2. Whether you simply grew apart or because a betrayal was committed

Whether you simply grew apart or because a betrayal was committed in your marriage, a divorce might often prove to be the best option. A divorce Christian will suffer a harder time during a divorce then others. Not only must they contend with all the problems of a divorce, but also the test on their faith as they know they are going against God's plan.

3. God for gives our sins

However we must remind ourselves that God is all knowing, and forgiving of our sins. While He may not like divorces, we know that he will understand and forgive if we confess our sin as part of the marriage going wrong. As much as God may be against divorces, He will understand that you cannot stay in an abusive relationship. 

Some Christians like to follow the Bible to the letter, and use it as a shield and sword in the fight over whether or not a divorce is acceptable. 

As we progress and learn more about ourselves and the universe God put us in, we also become more open to new ideas and realizations. And one such realization is that God does not want us to suffer needlessly, and as such He will forgive us for not remaining in a relationship where we are unhappy and where even the children suffer because of the unhappy marriage.

If you believe God wants you to remain then by all means, stay and fix your relationship. It all comes down to personal faith.
