Thou shalt not commit adultery (Exodus 20:14).
Naturally, this commandment means what it says. The Christian standard of conduct with regard to personal purity will never be improved on. Not to commit adultery is fundamentally important because on it is founded the sanctity of the family. But, of course, there is a great deal more in it than that.
One of the most common Hebrew synonyms was adultery for idolatry. In the Old Testament these two words are almost always interchangeable. The worship of false gods was described as adultery. The fundamental idea behind this commandment is to have one God. As you read through the Old Testament, you will find that the idea of the adulterous woman who is unfaithful to her husband constantly means the human soul that is turning away to some other god.
Brothers and sisters, turn not away from the one true God for any god or anyone. Similarly, turn not away from those we love, and to whom we commit, for any other person or thing. Finally, let us be true to what God created us to be, and let nothing turn us from us it.
Unfailing allegiance,
