  1. Adultery is prohibited by God’s Word.  Exodus 20:14; Deut. 5:18 – “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
  2. Mental adultery is condemned.  Matt. 5:27-28 – “…whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
  3. Adultery mars and hurts the soul of the believer.  Eph. 4:19; Proverbs 6:32 – “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding; he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.”
  4. Promiscuous activity has a destructive effect upon the human body.  1 Corinthians 6:13-18.  In Eph. 4:19 – Greediness – a Greek noun.  In Eph. 5:3 the Greek noun covetousness means a frantic search for happiness in the details of life – PROMISCUOUS ACTIVITY!  Results:

a.    Male – impotence and inability to copulate.

b.    Female – loss of pleasure in sex, resulting in frigidity or nymphomania – always frustration and misery.

  1. Adultery always mars trust and destroys compatibility between husband and wife mentally and physically.  It is a basis for divorce.  Matthew 5:32; 19:9; Luke 16:18.

  2. Adultery or fornication is often used in the Word of God to describe apostasy.  Jeremiah 3:8-10; Ezekiel 16:23-43; Rev. 17:1-5
  3. Marriage and sex are designed for our good.  1 Thess. 4:3-4; Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled…”
  4. In God’s original plan, He chose the right person for Adam – and for you.  Genesis 2:21-25; Eph. 5:31-33; Proverbs 18:22.
  5. Every believer will eventually meet his “God’s Right Person”, therefore he must wait on the Lord.  NO OTHER PERSON WILL DO.
  6. Promiscuous activity is accepting a substitute in order to gratify a biological or emotional urge.  Trusting the Lord causes one to flee fornication.  1 Corinthians 6:18.
  7. The greatest benefit in the expression of love in marriage is gained by those who are in fellowship with Jesus and stabilized in God’s Word.
