Divorce and Remarriage, Part 3 (Matthew 5:31–32) John MacArthur

Summary

This sermon concludes a three-part study on divorce, focusing on Matthew 5:31-32. The main theme is clarifying God's clear word on divorce and remarriage amidst widespread confusion, rather than offering personal opinions. The teaching emphasizes that true righteousness goes beyond outward actions, as seen when Jesus confronts the scribes and Pharisees about adultery, stating that even lustful thoughts constitute adultery in the heart. The practical takeaway is to understand God's standard of purity, which is rooted in the heart, not just outward behavior.
