1 Corinthians 6:18 New Living Translation
“Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.”
Adultery is a supremely selfish act. It couldn’t care less about the feelings of any other parties. Nobody wins, just like in divorce, which is likely to be the ultimate outcome of your nefarious act. Kids suffer the most, because they are not equipped to handle the emotional devastation that takes place. All this suffering and angst for mere moments of pleasure and it is only carnal pleasure … there’s nothing lasting about it at all.
Being a man, I see the male side of it. Many are stimulated by visual enticements. Their predatory instincts kick in and they go on the hunt for something that they have no right to in the first place. This is why I stress that we focus intently on the Lord and his directives.
So if you feel the pull of some low hanging forbidden fruit, don’t walk, run away in the opposite direction, because nothing good will come of a future association with said fruit. Here are some other verses regarding illicit affairs for you to look up. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
Exodus 20:14; Hebrews 13:4; James 4:17; Proverbs 6:32; Matthew 5:27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Luke 18:18-20; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; Mark 7:20-23 and Matthew 15:17-20.
