"I've failed my family and disappointed God " For many divorced Christians, thoughts like this one are not unfamiliar. Unfortunately, the Church is one of the biggest proponents of this position, and divorce is treated practically, if not in actuality, as an unforgivable sin. As a result, countless individuals are saddled with guilt and shame. But what if we're wrong? What if we've misinterpreted Christ's words and meaning? God's truth about the intent and necessity of divorce will free us from condemnation, guilt, shame, and establish us in Jesus.
