“Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does so destroys his own soul. Wounds and dishonor he will get, and his reproach will not be wiped away. For jealousy is a husband’s fury; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will accept no recompense, nor will he be appeased though you give him many gifts.” Psalm 6:32-35 NKJV
1. You and those you love will pay a high price.
- An expensive moment in history is recorded.
- Someone knows.
- Someone will remember for years to come.
- Someone will relate what they have heard.
- Someone you love dearly will be crushed by what is told.
- You cannot escape what is known of you.
2. Your ability to be trusted is called into question.
What does infidelity say about your ability to keep your word? There is no need to get mad when someone cites infidelity as the reason they do not trust you. It is not their fault that you have not kept your promises.
“Physical infidelity is the signal, the notice given, that all fidelities are undermined.”
Katherine Anne Porter
- The value of trust appraises highest once it has been sold.
- How much is the ability to be trusted worth to you?
3. The betrayed mate just put a target on your back.
Do I really have to explain this?
4. God loves both parties who have just wounded the other.
- A woman has just damaged the man whom God created for greatness.
- A man has just violated the precious daughter of the Most High God.
Before you commit adultery, tell God that it will be okay, just this once. Remember your words, they will be repeated for you when you stand before Him.
“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” Matthew 12:36 NKJV
