Run from Adultery!

10 Reasons to FLEE from adultery:  
From The Resolution for Men (Appendix 3, page 231-232)

1. Grieving my Lord
2. Disgracing the gospel
3. Destroying my reputation
4. Breaking precious hearts
5. Losing priceless possessions
6. Poisoning my conscience
7. Forcing God's judgment
8. Producing untold shame
9. Discrediting future effectiveness
10. Creating tangible consequences

I have experienced all of these in many ways. Trusting God's Word and warnings are always the best option. He gives them to us as an act of love and care. He knows the damage sin causes. He came to set us free from sin. He's not holding out on us. He has blessed us "with every spiritual blessing" in Christ. He gave us all of Himself. See Ephesians 1 and 2 for confirmation of this.

Going against Him and His ways always leads to problems. The good news is that God's grace is always available. His grace doesn't take away the consequences of our sin, but it helps us live through the recovery. He can do good things despite our sin - if we will allow Him to do so. Though my consequences could have been much worse, there is NOTHING in me that wants to go back down that path of adultery. It's never worth it. Period.

Proverbs 6:32-33, New American Standard Bible (NASB)

³² The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking ^[a]sense;
He who would destroy ^[b]himself does it.
³³ Wounds and disgrace he will find,
And his reproach will not be blotted out.
