Beached
Your friend has had a pretty rough marriage & you’ve spent countless hours & late nights discussing the matter. To make matters worse, you hear their spouse has been caught having an affair. To help your friend take their mind off things, you both go to the beach. As your weary friend relaxes in the sun & falls asleep, you notice an attractive blonde across the way. Through your sunglasses you can’t help but keep checking them out.
CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT: Whose sin is it anyway?
You might be surprised to know that the cheating spouse & yourself have both committed the sin of adultery if you have entertained any sexual thoughts (lust) – even if you aren’t married. Because God has full view of your mind & heart, He knows all your motives (Ps 33.13-15, 90.8). You have fallen short of God’s perfect standard.
You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. – Mt 5.27-30
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. – Heb 4.13
Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life. – Pr 6.25-26
