25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. ~ Ephesians 5:25-27
I want you to think about the connection between adultery and idolatry for a second. Adultery is when one spouse cheats on the other spouse with someone else. Idolatry is the same exact thing, only it is not with your spouse, but adultery against God Himself. Scripture teaches that we are the bride of Christ, so when we commit idolatry, we are, in essence, spiritually cheating on Christ. Think about that for a moment!
Here is how it works. Adultery and Idolatry are both deceptive. They will make you feel like you are in control, but you are not, it’s like playing with death itself. Russian roulette, if you will. And not just any death, but spiritual death, which lasts forever.
Therefore, flee both. Don’t entertain any thoughts that will separate you from the love of Christ. That will separate you from living eternity with Christ forever and ever.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Don’t Be Deceived.
