<p>“Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.”</p><p> </p><p>This passage is the key. As you can see in the story of Hosea and Gomer, God tells Hosea to bring a prostitute even though she is a prostitute and has committed fornication.</p><p> </p><p>In other words, it is to maintain oneness even if one has committed fornication. However, if they cannot accept this and live together, it becomes extremely difficult to bear. That's why they break up by having a divorce certificate.</p><p> </p><p>In the end, it's because people's hearts are hardened. So, if you marry because you love each other, let’s love and forgive no matter the reason.</p><p> </p><p>Divorces also happen because of hardened hearts.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Oct 17, 2023.</i></p><p><i>Mat 19:1-9</i></p>
