God joins all marriages, even for the unsaved. Unsaved people are dead in their trespasses and sins, that is anything against God's Law, His principles in His Word. The unsaved are held accountable for all their sins because they have not trusted Christ. Divorce and remarriage is as much a sin against God for the unsaved as it is for the saved.
Mark 10:8-9…"8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Meaning of "let man not separate" is "no man can separate" what God has joined.
This is true of salvation too, when someone believes on the Lord Jesus Christ they will be saved and cannot become unsaved. They have become an entirely new person with a new character by the hand of Christ. He then comes to live in those He saves.
God will not save anyone who does not want to be saved, those who will not believe in Him as the only way to heaven, will not go there.
Christ comes to live in believers changing their character to the opposite of what it was before.
Ephesians 2:10 "10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Only those who have been changed into a new creation by Christ will be saved. God never forces anyone, it is their choice.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:…"
Do you want to be changed into the likeness of Christ by Him? There is only one way and that is to believe that He died to pay the price for your sin and desire for Him to change you. Its not words you say or things you do, it is a genuine sorrow over your sin and belief that Christ will change you if you ask Him.
We were dead in our sins without any ability to change ourselves. It is only Christ changing us that we can be a completely different person, our character is changed from a worldly perspective to a heavenly one.
Don't wait to ask Christ to cleanse you, we may not have tomorrow. Things are ramping up for the end times, Christ may take His church home any day, don't be left behind.
