Today's Christian world frequently discusses marriage, divorce, and remarriage. Differences of opinion among God's servants regarding this matter frequently confuse the congregation. Therefore, we need to conduct research on Christian marriage and divorce literature from both soteriological and anthropological perspectives. The aim of this research is to answer whether divorced Christians who remarry can enter heaven, even though they are indicated to be living in adultery with their partner. Will the marriage relationship between a Christian husband and wife continue to exist in eternity? This research will employ qualitative methods, specifically a literature review. The results of this research are that first, Christians who divorce and remarry have fallen short of God's best design for their married life. But God will definitely forgive anyone who wants to repent and live righteously. There is still a guarantee of safety for couples like this who want to live their married lives wisely. Second, the marriage relationship between husband and wife on earth will be perfected in eternity.
Abstrak
Pernikahan, perceraian, dan pernikahan kembali menjadi isu yang sering dibahas dalam dunia kekristenan hingga saat ini. Perbedaan pendapat para hamba Tuhan mengenai hal ini sering kali menimbulkan kebingungan bagi jemaat. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai studi literatur pernikahan dan perceraian Kristen dari perspektif soteriologis dan antropologis. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk menjawab apakah orang Kristen yang bercerai dan hidup, dan menikah lagi dapat masuk ke Sorga, sedangkan ia terindikasi hidup dalam perzinahan dengan pasangannya. Kemudian, apakah hubungan pernikahan dari sepasang suami istri Kristen akan tetap eksis di dalam kekekalan? Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa orang Kristen yang bercerai dan menikah lagi telah menyimpang dari rancangan terbaik Allah untuk kehidupan pernikahan mereka. Namun Tuhan pasti akan mengampuni barangsiapa mau bertobat dan hidup benar. Jadi tetap ada jaminan keselamatan bagi pasangan seperti ini yang mau menjalani kehidupan pernikahan mereka dengan bijaksana. Kedua, hubungan pernikahan suami-istri di dunia akan disempurnakan dalam kekekalan.
