My husband has walked away from our marriage of 26 yrs due to adultery. I believe he knows the Lord, but has drifted away slowly as he sought worldly happiness. I have such deep sadness about this loss, but even more fear of where my husband is being led. I worry about the pain he will endure and the question if he still will see heaven if he does not repent of his sin. I believe he knows what he is doing is wrong, but continues to justify things, I pray for him many times in a day. They say the prayer of a wife is very strong. I want him to see the Lord’s face. I know the Lord is working on him, but what if he does not turn away from his sin? Is once saved always saved? Does this unrepentant sin prevent him from receiving salvation?

I’m sorry to hear about the adultery and the obvious pain you must be feeling. You have a very forgiving and caring heart. I’m glad to hear you’re praying for your husband as he’s definitely gone the wrong way. Only Jesus knows if he’s turned his back on Him. A person is secure in Christ as long as they want to be, but they never lose their free will. However, the verse of scripture in I John 1:9 still applies to him – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. He needs to repent of His sin and God will accept him. I would encourage you to keep praying for him as you said, “the prayer of a wife is very strong”. Perhaps he’ll repent of what he’s done and return to you. Time will tell. God bless you.
