Think of a woman in a bad way, you have Sinned!

You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery'. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery in his heart' Matthew 5: 27 and 28. This verse is not only applicable to males but to woman as well. Woman also fall for the sin of looking at man lustfully and by so doing they also have fallen for the sin of adultery in their hearts.

How terrible it is that woman now dress immodestly, they wear revealing clothes and claim it is their right to dress likewise. Too bad this happens even in church. Apparently the world protects the woman that goes to town on a mini skirt, skin top, cleavage revealing tops, see through tops, and allow them to stroll in town on a bikini. So many man have adultery written under their name because of woman that dress anyhow. Television, print media and shows make adverts with woman that are immodestly dressed. This makes it very tough for man to avoid the sin of adultery in the standard Jesus puts in the new testament.

 

 

The message of Christ today goes to man not to look at a woman to lust after her. The same message goes to woman not to lure man to last after them. Watch therefore that you don't cause your brother to sin.

 

Marrying a lovely but non-Christian person is sin!

 

Whenever God instructs, everybody must listen. Before I get to the obvious Bible verse on being equally yoked with none believers, I want to reference the book of Judges 16, where Solomon fell for a foreign national, a Philistine. This story is common and well known yet it details consequences of being yokes with none believers. Similarly, the none believer might have greater influence on you and you might loose your faith in Christ.

 

Coming back to 2 Corinthians 6:14 , 'Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?' Verse 15 says, 'And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?'

 

This is a commandment that comes straight from the Word of God. No part of the Bible is not from His mouth, therefore, all that the Bible is, is the word of God. The Bible does not contain the Word of God but it is the Word of God.

 

Now the tendency is for people to think of the relationship of marriage when referencing this verse yet being yoked goes beyond that. Did you know that you can be equally yoked in business, professional partnerships, projects and many more. Everything that you do that ties you to an unbeliever that will affect your walk with Christ is forbidden. God has said that He will dwell in believers and walk among them. He shall be our God and we should be His people (verse 16).
