Bible Question: a couple of weeks ago, someone asked a question regarind having marital affairs. i know it's wrong but why? would someone send me the answer to that question? |
Bible Answer: Hell needhelp, I would like to take a little different approach to our question, but only to take the subject of unfaithfulness a little further. You see, God is faithful and He hates covenant breakers becuae it is in direct contrast to His character. Below in Mark is an example of God's heart in the matter of unfaithfulenss and He categorizes spiritual unfaithfulness as adultery as well as the physical act. Mark 8:38 For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous (unfaithful) and [preeminently] sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory (splendor and majesty) of His Father with the holy angels. Do you see how God views adultery from these verses? If we are children of God indeavoring to grow up in the likeness of our Father, which we are commanded to do, then we must strive to become faithful to our words. What we SPEAK we are committed to, or in covenant with..So why do we not commit adultery? 1. Our Father hates it, and 2. It is required of a steward, one entrusted to the work of the Father, that he be found faithful..the more faithful we are to our covenants, our words, the more God can use us in His kingdom.
