An adulterous relationship always produces death. Death to the adulterer’s relationship with God, for his sin has separated him from fellowship with the Lord. He ends up dreading God’s nearness and looking for some place where he can hide from His holy presence. For a while he may maintain a spiritual facade, he may even fool his friends and family, but at the core of his being he is dead! Where once there burned a holy fire, now there are only ashes.
“With much seductive speech she persuades him;
— Proverbs 7:21-23 (ESV)
with her smooth talk she compels him.
All at once he follows her,
…he does not know that it will cost him his life.”
Lord Your word is clear. Sexual sin promise excitement but, in the end, it produces death. Deliver us. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
