The Unfaithful Husband Seeking
Forgiveness

It is sad and scary how society has deemed adultery
a natural part of the American culture. This is why God specifically
says for believers to separate from the ungodliness of the world.
I truly believe that unfaithfulness in marriage stems from not
keeping in tune with our spiritual side. We have to study the word and
we have to bring the word into our heart and mind on a daily basis for
reflection and spiritual growth. This article is for those husbands who
are repentant and want to save their marriage.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not
do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and,
after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he
looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that
gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has
heard, but doing it – he will be blessed in what he does.
James (1:22-25)
Are you deceiving yourself by not putting Gods
perfect law into your daily life? God’s law points out sin and gives
the husband the opportunity to repent and ask for God’s forgiveness.
Salvation frees a man from sins control. As a believer you are free to
live as God created you to live. If you are not living the way God
intends for you to live, could it be that you have not yet settle your
debts with God?
“But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins
he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and
right, he will surely live; he will not die. None of the offenses he has
committed will be remembered against him” (Ezekiel 18:21)
Pride tends to make a man selfish, and leads him
into believing he deserves everything he sees and wants. Because of this
attitude, it creates greed and lust, which invariably leads to immoral
desires, such as adultery, pornography and all other immoral sexual
sins. A husband can be released from the bondage of his temptations when
he humbles himself to the Lord and accepts Christ forgiveness. When you
become filled up with the Holy Spirit you will see that the world’s
alluring appeal are only cheap substitutes for what God has for you.
Forgiveness comes when you let down pride and open
yourself up to God by giving Him your life. Why give your life to the
world? The world can’t save you. The world is blind to the ways of the
Lord and stands in the way of forgiveness and love. Don’t be deceived
any longer. Your source for everything under the sun is the One who
created you. Humble your life to Him and let Him guide your paths to
righteousness.
Blessed is the man who preserves under trial,
because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life
that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)
Temptations do not come from God; they come from
the evil desires within us. They begin with an evil thought and become
sin only when we act upon them. A man must always keep Gods words
written upon his heart on a daily basis as to throw off the wrong
thoughts that satan tries to deceive him with.
I can’t tell you how important it is to continue studying the
words of God and to reflect and grow on them daily. Persevere always and
do not give up the fight. The fight is between good and evil. You
don’t want to let evil prevail do you? Come to the Lord and be
forgiven.
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil
that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which
can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says. (James 1:21-24)
