3 Bible Tips: The Seventh Commandment
1. No sexual relationship of any sort should occur outside of marriage.
"You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14).
2. From the beginning God intended that marriage be a monogamous and permanent relationship.
"The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, 'Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?' And He answered and said to them, 'Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning "made them male and female," and said, "for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh"? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate'" (Matthew 19:3-6).
3. Sexual sins cause terrible consequences.
"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18).
