How do we know that Jesus’ teaching on divorce is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus’ teachings on divorce are grounded in Scripture, particularly Matthew 5:31-32, which preserves God's original intent for marriage.

In His teachings on divorce, particularly in Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus reaffirms God's original intent and emphasizes the sanctity of marriage. He restricts the grounds for divorce to the serious sin of fornication, which encompasses all forms of sexual immorality. By doing this, He clarifies that the law given by Moses regarding divorce was a concession due to human hardness of heart, not God’s ideal plan. These teachings, being authoritative and in line with the Scriptures, establish that marriage is a lifelong covenant meant to reflect Christ’s unwavering commitment to His Church.
