The Bible: Exodus 20:1-17 7th is the commandment “Do not commit adultery.” “Adultery” is having a physical relationship with someone other than your husband or wife. How do we make sense of this in a society where this commandment is treated as obsolete and adultery is talked about beautifully? As Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man. Man was not made for the Sabbath.” It is important to accept it as a guideline for happiness. 1 Personal Fellowship Between Husband and Wife “And said the Lord God: It is not good for a man to be alone; …Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife, and the two become one flesh. Both the man and his wife were naked at that time, but they were not ashamed. ” Genesis 2:18-24 2 To live in love “The commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not covet your neighbor’s,’ or any other commandment. But they are summed up in the words, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” “Romans 13:9 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I say unto you, Anyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Matthew 5:28 3 Let us live as we are called to freedom, brethren. You were called to be set free. Just don’t use that freedom as an opportunity for the flesh to work, but serve one another in love. The whole law is summed up in one word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ” Galatians 5:13-14 “Don’t you know? Your bodies are part of the body of Christ. But are you going to take a part of Christ’s body and make it a part of the prostitute’s body? This should not be the case. …don’t you know? Your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who are in you from God, and you are no longer your own. 1 Corinthians 6:15,19
