In this message, it would be good for you to put your thoughts aside and stick to the Word of God, because it saves us and keeps us. Without it, we can do nothing. It is the Lord Himself in our lives: For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4.12).

           This verse that we are now studying is the continuation of the previous one, which says: Now to the married I command the married, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband (1 Corinthians 7:10). If the Lord's command is not followed, there will be a penalty. Virtually everyone who has separated has experienced sexual relations with new people, and that is adultery. No one can make of their bodies anything other than a temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19).

          We are commanded to guide our lives in the ways of the Word, so that evil will stay far away from us. Poor people who let themselves be carried away by hatred and resentment. A heart without the fear of God despises God's teachings and, as a result, cannot surrender to the Lord as it should, nor receive His guidance, living unprotected.

          Saul was chosen to look after God's people as a true shepherd, which is the king's job. However, he let jealousy get to him when he realized that the Most High liked David. Saul suspected that the young shepherd would become king of Israel. So, influenced by the evil one, he tried to take the life of the one whom the Lord's heart had chosen. However, as time went by, he discovered that the Philistines had never stopped pursuing him. Was it worth it?

           Saul became king by choice of the eternal God, but as he wanted this position for his son, he didn't mind trying to kill David. However, in one of the many battles he fought against his real enemies, Saul died along with his three sons (1 Samuel 31). Why didn't he adjust to Heaven's plan by training Jesse's son to replace him? He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded (Proverbs 13.13). Love God!

           If a saved woman who wants to live in Heaven separates herself from her husband, she must remain unmarried. If this is not possible, she must reconcile with him. However, be warned: if she wants another man in her life, she needs to know that this is adultery, and this sin will prevent her from entering the Lord's Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9,10). Be careful not to disqualify yourself!

           The Bible says: Whoever prevaricates and does not continue in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son (2 John 1.9). The act of prevaricating is making an agreement for which you were not authorized. To disregard the command of the Most High is to reject the doctrine of Christ, proving that you love neither the Father nor the Son.

           In Christ, with love,
