Thou shalt not commit adultery. Exo 20:14)
The issue with adultery is not about the act, but with
regard to the faithfulness. Jesus went
deeper to the root of the matter to tell us that it is not about the doing but
about the being (Matt 5:28). God, who is the keeper of the covenant, knows that
the human heart will have the tendency to stray hence His chastening serves His divine purpose to return us into His enveloping love.
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:44)
The apostle beckons us to keep ourselves in God’s love (Jude 1:21), that
is to watch carefully that we are constantly in the safe place of the Father’s
love. This watching is not a legalistic one outlined by dos and don’ts but one
whose core is founded in love. Stay faithful to God and not to any task,
regardless of how spiritual the task may be. To keep ourselves is to know the
inclusiveness into His family. Betrayal is most foul in any family, stay in the
place of faithfulness.
