Laws of Marriage and Divorce Part 2

  Welcome everyone and God bless you all in Christ Jesus Our Saviour. It has been already established in Genesis 2:24 that a legal marital relationship is between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN. Next, the word adultery will be defined before we continue on in this series. Adultery is defined by Webster's Dictionary as voluntary sexual intercourse that has occurred between a married person and a partner other than their lawful spouse. However, in Matthew 5:27-28 Jesus Christ defines this word. He starts off by reminding us that in both Exodus 20:14 and in Deuteronomy 5:18 we were commanded by God NOT to have sexual intercourse with anyone other than our legal spouse. "Thou shalt not comitt adultery" Matthew 5:27. In Matthew 5:28 Jesus not only expounds further on this word but he gives us the source to where this evil act begins. He says in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. KJV
  • Adultery is when either a man or a woman has sexual intercourse with another person other than their legal spouse or lust after another person with evil thoughts, desires, or imaginations with that person In their hearts.
  This heinous act is a criminal offence and violation of the sacred union that was established by our Creator, God. In fact, the marital relationship between a man and his wife and vice versa is the highest one of any relationship in the human race. This includes that which exists between a mother and her daughter as well as that between a father and his son. Whether we watch someone on television, strip club, magazine, movie, bar, a co-worker, or just walking by someone on the streets etc. when either a man or woman looks(lust, which is an evil desire, thought, or imagination) upon that person in their heart(thoughts or reasoning) we have already committed adultery with that person. Although we may not have had sexual intercourse with that person. In the eyes of God our Creator we have committed the sin of adultery when we lust(having evil desires) after that person In our hearts(thoughts). It does not matter how we or our courts here on earth define adultery or what we even define what adultery is in our own eyes. It has already been established by the highest judge of All heaven and earth God, being established in the supreme court of heaven.
  • Proverbs 3:7- "Do not be wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD and depart from evil." KJV

  Lastly, the act of adultery is never committed by accident or the age old exscuse "it just happened." Adultery is a voluntary act with criminal intentions in the eyes of God and the supreme court of heaven gave the verdict of gulity, punishable by death both spiritually and physically. Spiritually because sin separates us from God and physically because one could lose their very life by an angry spouse with vengeance in their heart. Please read the following scriptures: Leviticus 18:20, 20:10, Deuteronomy 22:22, and Proverbs 6:32-34. Next week we will begin to look at adultery in it's relationship to the laws of marriage and divorce. God bless you all in everything in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
