THE EFFECT OF ADULTERY AND FORNICATION
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 3:17
If any man defiles the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which
temple ye are.
BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (KJV)
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of
Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be
one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth
fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which
are God’s.
INTRODUCTION:
Sexual immorality is any habit or act that contradicts God’s laid down plan, principle and practice
concerning sexual behavior. Adultery and fornication are forms of sexual immorality. Other forms
of sexual immorality are homosexuality, lesbianism, bestialism, incest, rape, masturbation,
pornography, lustful desires, and immoral thoughts.
Adultery and fornication are not just sins against God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) but also against
one’s soul (1 Peter 2:11) and body (1 Corinthians 6:18). In this lesson, we shall attempt to
understand the meaning and causes of adultery and fornication, consider their inherent dangers as
well as the antidotes or remedies.
LESSON OUTLINES - Description and causes
- Dangers and antidotes
- DESCRIPTION AND CAUSES:
Adultery can simply be described as marital infidelity. Adultery is any illicit sexual relationship
between a married person and other persons apart from his or her spouse. Also, adultery could
mean sexual relationship between a married person and someone that is betrothed (engaged).
Adultery and fornication are listed among the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19). “Thou shall not
commit adultery” is among the first ten commandments given to Israel (Exodus 20:14). Adultery
was regarded as a serious sin punishable by death (Leviticus 20:10; John 8:4-5). Adultery starts
from the heart and the lust of the eyes (Matthew 5:27-28; 2 Peter 2:14).
Sexual immorality or intercourse between unmarried couples is called ‘fornication.’ Fornication
has gone viral among youth (even in the church) like never before (1 Corinthians 5:1). The
temptation to commit fornication or adultery is common to all, but you do not have to fall for it (1
Corinthians 10:12-13).
Some of the likely causes of adultery are untamed lustful desires (James 1:13-14); covetousness
(Exodus 20:17); lack of contentment or satisfaction of a party (1Corinthians 7:2-5). Separation,
divorce, and remarriage are gateway to adultery (Matthew 19:9; Romans 7:2-3). Also, undefined
relationship (1Corinthians 7:2) and unnecessarily prolonged courtship (1Corinthians 7:9). - DANGERS AND ANTIDOTES
Some of the dangers inherent in engaging in fornication and adultery are loss of dignity and honor
(Proverbs 6:32-33) exposure to and transfer of curse and affliction (Genesis 49:3-4); exposure to
deadly diseases and unwanted pregnancies; sudden death as well as eternal destruction and
separation from God (1 Corinthians 6:9; Hebrews 13:4b).
To be free from the bondage of fornication and adultery, the believer should have a consciousness
of sin and fear God (Genesis 39:9; Romans 6:12-14); abstain from all appearances or resemblance
of sexual immorality 1Thessalonians 5:22; 1Corinthians 6:18; Genesis 39:10-12); get married as
soon as you are matured to do so (1Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4a); married couples should strive
to mutually satisfy each other in all things and guard against infiltration of strange women and
men (1Corinthians 7:35; Proverbs 5:18-20); always meditate on the word of god and depend on
the strength of the Holy Spirit to exercise self-control (Philippians 4:8,13).
CONCLUSION
Sex before or outside marriage is totally forbidden by God (Ephesians 5:3). Saint must abstain
from fornication (Acts 15:20, 29). Adultery as well as fornication kills.
