Divorce, Remarriage & Leadership: Law or Gospel?

By Alan J. Niebergal

ABOUT THE BOOK:

What do we do with divorce in the church?

We can approach this issue of divorce, remarriage, and leadership based on a law which was never Jesus' intention or we can base it on the gospel, which includes restoration and grace. God's people are to be known according to Jesus by their practice of grace, truth and love. The same love they have received, they are to extend to others based on the truth in God's word. Therefore, we must be good stewards of knowing, interpreting and applying God's word.

There are many views on this issue, at least five of which are stated. How we live this controversial issue out expresses our relationship to God and our testimony to Christ. Will we be known for legalism, antinomianism, or the way of Christ? We called in Christ to live the Royal Law of Christ. The church can find His gracious and glorious way and practice it fully.
