DIVORCE 1: BIBLE QUOTES (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Divorce

a) It is interesting that one of the first things God was concerned about after creation was that we were no in life alone. 

Genesis 2:18
"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him."

b) In addition to creating the heavens and the earth and all the animals and finally man; god created marriage for the man and the woman. This early picture in the garden shows how much God loves and cares for us. Unfortunately, the fall of man was right around the corner in Genesis 3.

c) Things would never be the same. On area where we can clearly see the effects of sin is in the marriage relationship. Divorce is very common today even to people that go to church and are believing Christians. 

d) The topic of divorce has many passages that we can look to for answers about when divorce is allowed, what happens when a spouse dies, and even what did Jesus have to say about divorce while he was here on this earth.
