You Shall Not Commit Adultery
Sex and marriage are two of God’s greatest gifts. No relationship can be as intimate, sweet, life giving, and joy filled as the marital relationship, and no experience can be as intimate and powerful within that marriage relationship as sex. So, of course, the Devil is going to go after sex and marriage. We should expect confusion, misunderstanding, perversion, and pain—not because sex and marriage are bad or not worth the trouble, but precisely because they are such good gifts. God’s best gifts are the ones most apt to be twisted and perverted by the world, the flesh, and the Devil.
The relationship between Christ and the church is a paradigm for the relationship between a husband and a wife. The mystery is that the union of Christ and the church finds expression in a man and a woman becoming one flesh in Christian marriage. God designed for a Christian husband and wife to come together in such a way that this union of Christ and the church can be symbolized.
Reflect
Why is the sexual union between husband and wife an integral component of marriage?
