Do Not Commit Adultery

Today we come to a command that speaks to one of the most sacred gifts God has given humanity—the covenant of marriage. In just four words, “Do not commit adultery,” God draws a clear boundary to protect that covenant, to guard our hearts, and to uphold the sanctity of love, trust, and intimacy within marriage. But this command reaches beyond physical betrayal—it touches the very core of our thoughts, our desires, and the condition of our hearts. In a world that celebrates sexual immorality and mocks marital faithfulness, God calls His people to something higher and holier. And while the sin of adultery brings devastation to individuals, families, and souls, the good news is that there is grace for the broken. There is hope for the unfaithful. There is cleansing for the guilty. Through Jesus Christ, even the worst of sinners can be washed, restored, and made new.
