So I did a study on forgiveness and repentance and was reminded that many have a misunderstanding of it, especially as it relates to divorce. According to scripture, divorce is a sin (without any biblical grounds) and I don't think many would disagree. But what many will disagree about is the fact that God will forgive if we confess it. While God does require that we confess our sins, he also requires that we repent, or turn away from our sins. In regards to divorce, what does that mean? It means that repentance requires you to reconcile because voluntarily walking away from the vows you made to God are the sins.
I did not specifically look to invalidate the idea of God forgiving the sin of divorce without repentance for I realized that there are things in my life that I've confessed but haven't repented of. But with some of the comments I've seen regarding divorce, I thought it would be a good place to add this bit of info.
