Christian Infidelity - God Please Forgive Me For I Have Been Unfaithful

Christian infidelity is very much like any other sin you commit except it's one that God says is grounds for divorce. It doesn't mean that you must get divorced or that you can't be forgiven, but the consequences of your unfaithfulness can result in a divorce.

God looks at all sins the same but unfortunately men and women are not capable of doing so. You see to God, even looking and lusting after another is committing adultery so by that standard many are guilty and need to repent and ask for forgiveness.

Christian Infidelity vs non-Christian Infidelity

In my opinion there is no more or less pain involved when adultery occurs. There is devastation in most relationships when an affair has occurred. The hurt cannot be measured and the brokenness or shame is visibly seen, once the infidelity is uncovered.

Asking God for Forgiveness

There are many instances in the bible where you can find wisdom regarding forgiveness. I've noted two of them below for your reference.

1 John 1:19 says "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness".

If you believe in confession of sins, and you should, then to help get through your Christian infidelity, go to God in prayer and ask to be forgiven. Once you do, please take God at His word and believe you have been forgiven.

2 Chronicles 7:14 - This is a very practical verse that I believe if followed can help you begin to recover from Christian Infidelity. The verse is as follows;

"If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land".

Now as a Christian you know you are called by His name. Dealing with your Christian infidelity involves humbling yourself and praying to God for forgiveness, strength and wisdom. You of course will need to seek God's plan and direction for your life and needless to say no longer commit adultery i.e., turn from your wicked ways. Then you will hear from heaven.

Although life may seem difficult right now due to your Christian infidelity, with God's help you can make it through this season of your life. It doesn't mean that you won't have pain and hard times ahead because of your infidelity, but holding onto God and following His guidance will give you the best chance to restore your relationship and life.

One of the things you will need to do is forgive yourself as you begin to rebuild your relationship.

I hope this information helps you to begin healing and restoring your life after Christian infidelity has happened.
