The Ten Commandments Sermon Series

Seventh Commandment: You Shall Not Commit Adultery

Exodus 20:14

You shall not commit adultery.

Matthew 5:27-28

^“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

What is adultery?

An unlawful sexual act of any kind be it married or unmarried.

What is lust?

A strong desire of any kind, that is evil.

Colossians 3:3-5

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is you life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality,impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

Sexual Immorality

-Fornication

-Pornography

-Adultery

These are also counted as idolatry in which, we must put to death!

The root of sexual immorality is LUST.

How Does This Relate to Me?

Dangers of Lust

It Destroys Us
