You Shall Not Commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14)
God's command not to commit adultery relates directly to his exhortation in Hebrews 13:4 to "let marriage be held in honor among all." We are to esteem, honor, and cultivate our marriages greatly, and to flee and fight the sins of adultery and sexual immorality. Our fighting these sins requires a practical plan of attack, but it also requires an understanding of the forgiveness and power we receive in the gospel.
