Sex is relentlessly promoted in society through movies, the Internet, bars, parties, and even children's media, becoming a pervasive vehicle for attracting interest. Living in sin is now commonplace, with terms like "significant others" replacing traditional marital labels, and perversions reframed as personal expressions. This barrage of sensuality can jade even those who do not engage in such acts, deadening resistance and obscuring the sacred purpose of marriage and the seventh commandment. Failing to resist can lead to overlooking the despicable nature of sex sins and cheapening the precious gift of sex. God commands abstinence from all forms of sexual immorality, including premarital sex, homosexuality, incest, voyeurism, bestiality, and public nudity. Men and women are equally accountable for sexual sin, facing severe consequences for actions like adultery and sodomy. Lusting after another, even mentally, is condemned as it equates to committing the act in the mind. In a world filled with sexual temptations, fleeing such influences is crucial, as lingering near temptation can lead to grave consequences. The ultimate penalty for the sexually immoral, along with other unrepentant sinners, is severe judgment. Marriage holds a holy purpose, intended to reflect a sacred relationship. Sex sins such as adultery, fornication, pornography, and sodomy hinder this purpose until repentance occurs. Marriages should remain unpolluted, sacred, and pure, ensuring that the union and its fruit are holy. Infidelity, whether actual or fantasized, is a chief cause of marital problems and divorce, damaging the exclusive bond of marriage. Viewing a spouse as set apart, rather than an object of lust, preserves the sanctity of the relationship. God created men and women to bond as one flesh in marriage, sharing deep intimacy and joy, which sex sins violate by creating opposing bonds and inflicting severe damage on the marital relationship. Sexual immorality deeply wounds marriages, shattering trust and undermining their foundations. However, forgiveness and change are possible for those who have committed such sins. Recognizing the need for forgiveness and ceasing to feed the sin are vital steps in overcoming it. Repentant individuals are met with mercy, as demonstrated by gentle responses to those who show remorse for their actions. Even repeated failures can be forgiven through persistent repentance and reliance on divine strength to fight against sin. Regardless of past actions, the call is to maintain holy and clean marriages, glorifying a higher purpose through righteous conduct.

The addiction to pornography is identified as America's most socially and financially costly addiction. It destroys family life and is accessible from home, contributing to its widespread use. The industry has seen a significant increase in revenue over the years, reaching $13.3 billion by 2006 and $14 billion recently. This amount surpasses the combined revenues of the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball. Worldwide, the sex industry's sales for 2006 were reported at $97 billion, with America contributing $13.3 billion. Child pornography alone generates $3 billion annually in America. The social damage caused by pornography is immense, though difficult to quantify. It destroys intimacy between spouses and leads to the objectification of women, turning sex into a self-gratifying act rather than an expression of love.

The Creator God gave the seventh commandment, You shall not commit adultery, to protect the honor and sanctity of marriage. Within marriage, sex is fully sanctioned by God, but outside of it, its practice causes great harm. This commandment, in principle, covers all forms of illicit sex, including fornication, homosexuality, bestiality, and pedophilia. Adultery, even in thought, defiles the land and its inhabitants, carrying severe consequences. It is an offense not only to the aggrieved spouse but also to their home and children, striking at the basis of a decent society. Violence often accompanies adultery due to its treachery and self-centeredness, destroying loyalty and teaching disrespect. The act of fornication and adultery brings harm and shame upon a person. God hates divorce but allows it in rare cases under specific circumstances, and marrying a divorced person can be considered adultery. Sexual immorality can be grounds to exclude someone from Christian fellowship for the spiritual health of the community. Committing adultery is a sin against God and merits His judgment. Adulterers cannot inherit the Kingdom of God unless they genuinely repent, though the harmful effects of sin may persist. Symbolically, spiritual adultery represents unfaithfulness to God, seen in idolatry and reliance on the world rather than on Him.
