Adultery

Pastor Roy A. Cloudt
Grace Bible Church

Adultery is prohibited by God’s Word.

Adultery is prohibited by God’s Word. Exodus 20:14; Deut. 5:18 – “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Mental adultery is condemned. Matt. 5:27-28 – “…whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Adultery mars and hurts the soul of the believer. Eph. 4:19; Proverbs 6:32 – “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”
Promiscuous activity has a destructive effect upon the human body. 1 Corinthians 6:13-18. In Eph. 4:19 – Greediness – a Greek noun. In Eph. 5:3 the Greek noun covetousness means a frantic search for happiness in the details of life – PROMISCUOUS ACTIVITY! Results:

a. Male – impotence and inability to copulate.

b. Female – loss of pleasure in sex, resulting in frigidity or nymphomania – always frustration and misery.

Adultery always mars trust and destroys compatibility between husband and wife mentally and physically. It is a basis for divorce. Matthew 5:32; 19:9; Luke 16:18.
Adultery or fornication is often used in the Word of God to describe apostasy. Jeremiah 3:8-10; Ezekiel 16:23-43; Rev. 17:1-5
Marriage and sex are designed for our good. 1 Thess. 4:3-4; Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled…”
In God’s original plan, He chose the right person for Adam – and for you. Genesis 2:21-25; Eph. 5:31-33; Proverbs 18:22.
Every believer will eventually meet his “God’s Right Person”, therefore he must wait on the Lord. NO OTHER PERSON WILL DO.
Promiscuous activity is accepting a substitute in order to gratify a biological or emotional urge. Trusting the Lord causes one to flee fornication. 1 Corinthians 6:18.
The greatest benefit in the expression of love in marriage is gained by those who are in fellowship with Jesus and stabilized in God’s Word.
