Matthew 5:27-37

Kingdom living means we are ruthless to our selfishness and resolute to obey God’s Word.

Because we see the evil of Adultery flows from our greedy evil heart condition

Because we see the tragedy of Divorce as it flows from someone’s selfishness
A tragedy because
- we fail to reflect God’s image
- we create more chaos
- we negatively impact others

Someone’s selfishness because
- created and allowed offenses to build up to break up
- quit on vows to God and spouse

This is why Scripture says God hates divorce, because of the tragedy of it.
But God has always made provision for divorce when the marriage is broken.
Divorce Allowable When Covenant is Violated
- Adultery (Matthew 19: Jesus reiterates Gen 1-2 God’s design)
- Abandonment (Corinthians 7: Paul expands reasons for divorce)
- Abuse (Exodus 21:10-11: marriage must provide safety, care and love)
Three Views on Remarriage:
no remarriage after divorce
yes remarriage if adultery or desertion
yes remarriage always
