Instructions for
reconciliation?
I have split from my ex-fiancée who I
have a daughter to. The split actually happened October 1999 and my daughter was born
March 2000. Are there any examples in the Bible of reconciled partners, ANY promises of
reconciliation, AND ARE THERE ANY Bible Scriptures that tell a husband how to bring a
wife's heart back to reconcile?
The first thing to do is to make sure that you are
truly saved. I would encourage you to go to the Salvation Bible Course on this Web Site,
and go through it prayerfully. You can view it at
“http://www.pathwaynet.com/libertyb/biblecrs/salvatio/salvatn1.htm”.
If you are
truly saved, then you must repent of your sin of immorality and humble yourself before
God. James 4:8-10 says, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your
hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be
afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy
to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”
You need to confess your sin to the Lord. I John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.”
The next
thing to do is to go to the woman with which you have been immoral, and ask her for her
forgiveness. Matthew 5:23,24 says, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar,
and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift
before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and
offer thy gift.”
You must
center on putting the Lord first in your life. Proverbs 16:7 says, “When a man's ways
please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
There are
many other things which must also be considered. If this woman is not a Christian, then it
is not God’s will for you to be seeking marriage with her until she is saved. Find a
good local church where the Bible is preached and followed, and get some good, godly
friends around you which will encourage you to do right.
