'God Hates Divorce' - Luke 16:18

[Jesus continued,] "For example, a man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery. And anyone who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."

—Luke 16:18 NLT

Key Thought​

God hates divorce and it's damage, but he still loves people who have been divorced. [1] It splits families. It breaks covenants. It destroys people. It hurts children. It dishonors God's plan for marriage. He wants us to understand that his grace does not lessen his call on each of us to be faithful to his or her marriage covenant. [2] We are to be people of integrity, commitment, and faithfulness. [3]
[1] Malachi 2:16.
[2] Romans 6:1-2.
[3] Galatians 5:22-23.
Note: It is important to distinguish between divorce and divorced people. God hates divorce, not divorced people. God loves divorced people just like everyone else. It is essential for us to remember that "nothing [which includes divorce] can ever separate us from God's love" (Romans 8:38-39) and that he wants us all to come to him (2 Timothy 1:9-10; Romans 12:1-2).

Today's Prayer​

Father, renew our passion to have godly marriages where our covenantal vows are kept and your will is received with honor and obeyed with passion. In Jesus name. Amen.

Divorce is evil and it is brought by satan himself because it is him who brings anger, rage toward our spouse. He tempts our husbands with the pretty new secretary at the office and then lets eat lunch and our marriage ends when he leaves us with four kids to feed. O Lord, save us from any divorce we may have.

If you promised God to love your spouse till death do us part, then this promise should be fulfilled. Divorce does not come from Jesus, it come from the devil who want us all unhappy and unfulfilled in life.
