Divorce and Remarriage: The texts

Scripture is a light. Even better, it is God’s light, God’s authoritative Word. One function of God’s Word is to reveal His will (Psalm 119:105).

There is no area in today’s culture more in need of God’s light than marriage. There are a number of statistics I could cite here, but I will get to the point: divorce is highly prevalent in the American culture, including the church. It is thus important for every believer to have a clear grasp of where they believe the Bible stands on divorce and remarriage.

Over the next few weeks, I will make several posts on divorce and remarriage. This issue cannot be thoroughly examined on a blog. My goal is to give you some thoughts to aid you in your study of this important issue.

Here are some texts that are particularly relevant to this issue:

Genesis 2:23-24

Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Malachi 2:10-16

Matthew 5:32

Matthew 19:1-12 (especially 9)

Mark 10:1-12 (especially 11-12)

Luke 16:18

Romans 7:1-3

1 Corinthians 7:10-17, 39-40
