Good day to those reading this❤️ i would like to share something i learned from a youtube channel called Bible project. The seventh commandment you shall not commit adultery or in hebrew Lo ti'naf or Lo ti'naph. Lo meaning no or not, and ti'naph the root verb means to commit adultery. Lo makes ti'naf into negative saying dont commit adultery. The ti'naph or to commit adultery with someone in a marriage covenant with another person. So why does that matter? Genesis 1:27 we are the image of God we are different male and female but are one. And when God created adam and put him in the garden, He said it is not good for the ' adam to be alone in Genesis 2:18. God says He will make a ezer-meaning the one who brings about deliverance from the bad situation so a rescuer and kenegdo- corresponding to so ezer kenegdo, delivering ally that matches, but not matches by being identical but by being precisely different. A man leaves his father and mother and then joins his wife, and they become one flesh. One flesh being a family bond, and marriage is one of the main metaphors talking about God's covenant with israel.
In Ephesians when paul writes the letter he tells husbands they should love their wives because by that they also love themselves, focusing on the one flesh part, then the Messiah and the church, a picture of God and His people, God and humanity becoming one, marriage is a picture of God's relentless pursuit of becoming one with His human creatures, with His partners. So flip over, don't commit adultery. If you see a married couple in a community, their marriage is the most important context where they learn to become more loving to each other. Keep Exodus 20:14 NASB1995 [14] “You shall not commit adultery
Honor God, don't shatter a couples marriage because of your sexual desire, love each other more, love your wife and others as you love yourself. And remember, Jesus loves you, God bless. ❤️🙏❤️🩹🕊
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
