Spiritual Adultery

Sorry it has been so long between postings. Hope you enjoy...

     Here it is, the month where the secular world celebrates a day of “love”, and I bring up the “A” word. Just like me, isn’t it? But it is a valid question to ask ourselves. Are we, as the bride of Christ, committing spiritual adultery against Him?

     Paul saw this with the church at Corinth, and warned in 2 Corinthians 11 ¹Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. ²For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. ³But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. ⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

     Do we, as His Bride, at times lean towards any other doctrine but the bible? Do we put worldly ideas or practices before Him? Do we put others such as family, friends, work or money before Jesus? The bible calls it adultery and idolatry.

     If we are never asked the hard questions and never look inward for a true answer, then we will never grow as Christians. But there is always good news with Jesus Christ! The Bridegroom is faithful to forgive and forget our straying if we return to Him and repent. His love will still be just as deep and His arms just as open. He knows the devil is sly at trying to seduce His bride, but His forgiveness is eternal if we return to the path of righteousness.

     Now, one last question, do we practice that same level of forgiveness and love towards one another? I’ll save that for next time.
