Do Not Commit Adultery!

Do Not Commit Adultery!

Adultery is when a person is unfaithful in his/her married life. What could possibly happen to a person who has disobeyed this commandment? Let's take a look:

Mike is a married business man. He is the father of an adorable five year old son and another baby on the way. Mike begins laying eyes on Tammy, an attractive blonde that has just started as his secretary. Mike does care for His wife and is very excited about his unborn baby, but he just can't seem to take his eyes off of Tammy. He begins to wonder what it would be like to be with someone else just for one time.  Mike knows that the Bible says not to defile the marriage bed, but Satan keeps whispering in his ear "no one will ever know, you have a right to do what you want". Mike quickly gives way to his lustful feelings towards Tammy as he listens to Satan's lies and chooses to ignore the Bible. Mike calls his pregnant wife and lies to her, telling her he will be home late that night. Immediately after work Mike and Tammy go to a nearby motel to spend the evening together. Mike does not know Tammy had willfully forgotten to tell him that she is infected with the aids virus. Tammy knows she's going to die anyway, so why can't she live the rest of her life to the fullest? What was the result of Mike rejecting God's command;"Thou shall not commit adultery?" This one short fantasy, which only lasted a short evening, ended up destroying Mike's entire future. This lustful act caused death and separation to his family. Unknowingly, Mike carried the aids virus home to his pregnant wife who gave it to the unborn child. After being diagnosed with aids, Mike's secret came out and his wife, horribly divested, decided to separate from him. Separation and death happened in Mike and his family's life because he chose to ignore the Bible and go his own way. Not only did Mike suffer for his sin, but his innocent wife and unborn child also will suffer. His five year old son will eventually become an orphan. Many people have similar situations in their lives because they have decided to go their own way and remain separated from God. They have not only destroyed their own life by their disobedient mistakes but have also sadly taken others who were innocent along their path of destruction. All because they have decided to ignore God and follow their own enlightened path(Proverbs 14:12).How true the verse is; "Then when lust hath conceived, it bring forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bring forth death" (James 1:15) and "For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).  Have you always been faithful to your spouse? Have you ever had sex with anyone before you were married (fornication)? Have you ever engaged in sexual fantasies or lustful thoughts about anyone not your spouse? If so, you are an adulterer - you have broken God's 7th commandment. (Matthew 5:27-28)
