Sermon Notes
You Shall Not Commit Adultery
Deuteronomy 5:18
Dr. Tony Chute, Lead Pastor
Overview: The seventh commandment prohibiting adultery is a call to moral purity for all, marital fidelity between spouses, and covenant loyalty before God. The call to moral purity includes our thoughts about the value of others, how we understand the purpose of our bodies, and why we should refrain from acting on our base impulses. The call to marital fidelity is based upon God’s design for marriage, a genuine love for our spouse, and Christ’s love for the church. The call to covenant loyalty before God involves our recognition of His Lordship in all areas of life, our satisfaction with His providential leading in our lives, and our anticipation of His provision in the life to come. Regardless of whether we are single or married, the seventh commandment compels us to flee all forms of sexual immorality.
