Good and relevant verses there; and it's remarkable how many people who are pleased to call themselves evangelical seem to feel free to advocate setting these verses aside and adopt a divorce and remarriage culture within the local church. A lot of prayer and humility is indeed needed for these issues."Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: a wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife." (1 Corinthians 7:10-11)
So, Paul makes it clear that this is what "the Lord" commands, not only Paul by himself.
Later in this chapter Paul talks about how to handle an unbeliever. So, I would say this scripture is meant for people who are believers, and therefore ones who intend to obey. They are a Christian couple. But since we are not perfect, we can have problems. And it appears that Paul knows even a Christian couple can break up; yet, he says "the Lord" wants them to stay single or reconcile with each other.
So, for ones who want to obey, but they have failed by breaking up, what can happen?
Each of them will pray. And what happens when we get with God, after we have messed up? God corrects us, and encourages us in His love which makes us able to relate well with even our enemies; so then we become encouraged to get back together with the other Christian who also in prayer has been corrected and now is encouraged how we can do better.
And what helps us is >
"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation," (in Philippians 2:13-16)
As we get into loving in God's all-loving strength, then we can do better with our spouses. We become more and more unconditional so things can't get to us; and then we enjoy how we are creative with each other, even when one of us fails or we do not agree.
"And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved." (2 Corinthians 12:15)
"Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them." (Colossians 3:15)
So, a man has no excuse for ever getting bitter. No matter what happens or how convincing something in him is to get him bitter . . . no excuse; so he can learn how to not give in to that convincing stuff and stinking thinking, but stay loving, instead. Then he knows he is always ready for love with his wife, not getting ready to break up. And if they have gotten apart, then in prayer he can realize how he let bitterness get the better of him and he can get with God, instead, and then he is ready to reconcile.
And if his wife prays, she obeys this, so she becomes ready, too.
And then our Father can guide them back together, because they are obeying how He guides them in His peace >
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
So, I see how God means this for two people who are developing in obeying Him.
So . . . in case one person does not obey this, I understand a child of God obeys God. So, if someone persists in not obeying . . . the person possibly needs to trust in Jesus and get started in obeying Him.
I am not interested in saying what will happen if someone does not repent. But if someone does change to obey God, of course he or she is forgiven. And then, in case things have gotten complicated in some impossible way, pray until they are in God's peace with His personal guiding, and find out what He has you do in His perfect peace.
But if somebody does not obey God, they will be finding out what happens to them . . . no matter how they cry and deny and worship excuses.
I can get pretty critical of people who are not doing well in marriage and ones who have already gotten out. So, yes I need humility so I can pray effectively with hope > love "hopes all things" (in 1 Corinthians 13:7).A lot of prayer and humility is indeed needed for these issues.
Sin unrepented of remains unforgiven.Yes. Divorce is not the unforgivable sin and neither is remarriage.
Sin unconfessed remains unforgiven. That does not mean a Christian is going to hell because he/she got divorced. Either you are born again or you are not. You lose fellowship when you sin. You do not lose your salvation.Sin unrepented of remains unforgiven.
