Summary

Show Notes:

* Divorce is not the unforgivable sin. Look at Jeremiah 3:8 where God says, “For all her adulteries, I gave faithless Israel a certificate of divorce.” God has the audacity to call himself a divorced person.
* Now, of course, there was no sin on his side of the divorce, and maybe there was on yours. But in the cross and resurrection, Jesus puts away the sin done by you and he overturns the sin done to you.
* I feel a special word for some people out there going through real marital trouble—God is going to do something amazing if you trust in him and give him time. He wants to do something amazing in your marriage that makes it far stronger and more beautiful than anything you’ve ever imagined—even better than when you were newlyweds.
* God can bring beauty and redemption even out of our biggest mistakes if we trust it to him.
* In the cross, we find forgiveness for the sins done by us and healing for the ones done to us.

The empty tomb is the answer for the empty soul ravaged by divorce.

0:00.0	Hey, everyone.
0:02.0	Welcome to Ask Me Anything. My name is Mad Love, and we have a great episode for you today.
0:25.2	Over the past 20 years, Pastor Jadie has tackled lots of difficult questions from the pulpit.
0:30.1	So we started thinking, why don't we just share some of that original teaching that he's done in that environment with you here on the podcast as a way
0:37.6	to answer some of the difficult questions that you might be asking.
0:42.0	Last week, Pastor J.D. answered the question, is it okay to get divorced?
0:45.6	And today is part two of that question.
0:48.2	And we're talking about how does God see me if I'm divorced?
0:51.9	So here we go. Let's dive in.
0:53.5	Let's join Pastor J.D. Forrest thoughts from God's
0:55.8	word about his love and compassion for you. If I am divorced and I'm remarried, I want to end on
1:05.1	how does God see me now? Let me just say what I said at the beginning, okay? Divorce is not the unforgivable sin.
1:16.5	In fact, look at Jeremiah chapter 3, verse 8. God says, God says, for all her adulteries,
1:25.3	I gave faithless Israel a certificate of divorce. God has the audacity to call
1:35.2	himself a divorce person. God puts himself in the company of the divorce. If I were to ask all
1:42.6	divorced people in this room to stand up and God himself
1:47.2	were here, God would stand up in that number. Now, of course, there was no sin on his side of the
1:53.4	divorce and maybe there was sin on yours. See, the point is in the cross and resurrection,
1:58.5	Jesus puts away the sin done by you and the resurrection, Jesus puts away the sin done by you.
2:03.8	And the resurrection, he overturns the sin done to you.
2:11.8	You see, at the cross, the cross, Peter says, he bore our sins, our sexual sins,
2:16.5	our marriage sins, our anger sins, our abuse sins.
