Divorce & Remarriage

I am divorced and remarried. What I have done in the past is the past. Sin is sin, and I praise God for HIS forgiveness. This sin is no more unforgivable than any other sin. God picks me up where I am. He recognizes the marriage relationship I am in now as binding. And so I go on from here. The past is forgiven; praise God, it is past. It is just as forgiven as any other sin. We are a perfect match in heaven. We have so much in common. We are best friends as well as wonderful lovers. Spiritually, we have a wonderful relationship with God and we both are excited about our future. I (usually) don't worry how others may "judge" me or my marriage because I leave the judging to God. My Church accepted us, our families have accepted us and they all know why this have happened. God knows too. Why should others who don't know us judge us? they don't know my heart as God knows. God is not impressed by my works (1. Samuel 16:7). The Lord said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord don't make decisions the way you do. People judge by outward appearance (i.e. works), but the Lord looks at a person's thoughts and intentions (heart)." (NLT) Judging based on appearance and doctrines are man-centered more than God-center. "A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself" (A.W. Tozer). Those who similar to Pharisees' attitudes are those who magnifies the faults of those who based others on appearance and diminishes their graces, while they promote their doctrines. Self-righteousness is terrible among Christian community because it is very naturally that we judge everyone by what/who we are because it is usually smug satisfaction with self. Self-righteousness also leads to self-satisfaction accompanied by unawareness of what is going on. As long as our conscience is clear and our heart is pure before God, don't be concerned with issues. That is GRACE. In Romans 14:5 "One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." 1 Corinthians 10:28-29 "both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake, the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?"
