Adultery in the Heart: Matthew
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast and Hank Unplugged podcast, reads Matthew 5: 27-32. As with the sixth commandment, the problem is not with the eye or the hand but with the heart. And only God’s grace accessed through our faith can keep the heart pure. The Lord Jesus, the Master Teacher, in verse 28, identifies the real culprit as not the eye or the hand, but the heart. It is the heart out of which all sorts of evil spring. If losing an eye or amputation was the solution, then the blind and the lame could rest easily. While it may serve a righteous purpose to cut off from yourself those who may lead you into sin, it is ultimately the heart that needs to be renewed through God’s goodness and grace. Apart from that we are all in big trouble. For none of us can keep God’s commands in utter perfection. Jesus alone is the fulfillment of the law and prophets. When Jesus renews our hearts by His marvelous grace, through the uncreated energies that are received through the sacramental life, He remakes the parts of our bodies from instruments of death and unrighteousness into instruments of life and righteousness. Concerning divorce (vv. 31-32), when we read Scripture in light of Scripture, we immediately ascertain a primary principle, which is: GOD HATES DIVORCE (see Malachi 2: 16; see also Matthew 19: 1-12).

I have adultery in my heart for years now. Plz pray for me that I not only overcome but to put my trust and faith in Christ with a renewed heart.
Right on the mark with; there must be a renewal of the heart to not want to act on these emotions. 'If your eye offends, pluck it out' is hyperbole to highlight this very point.
By saying, it is written, Jesus is revealing that😊 the law is to be surpassed, to attain the righteousness of God. And that ability to attain God's righteousness comes from a changed heart, through a faith which saves; a faith that accepts his redemptive work on the cross on our behalf. And where is the boasting on account of this? No one can boast. For he has shut every mouth. Cheers
Yes teacher, good to see you, brother!
Surely this man is filled with the anointing of God ,he looks like he operates by the fruits of the holy spirit , I looked at other preachers and they all seem to be speaking from their own understand , as for this men , I'm speechless
Thank you
It's why people are seen walking and driving right into walls
So then is “adultery in the heart” a grounds for divorce? If your husband in continually watching pornography and lusting at after other women? Where does this stand? Is this classified as unfaithfulness?
Well most probably unfortunately God ain't here. To tell more clarification. I am struggling with how does courtship even happen without imagining a woman naked. How is adultery even adultery if she is single. Tell your hubby to stop.
I think so. If he’s watching other women lusting it’s considered unfaithfulness and if it affects your trust I think it is ground. But pray God will change him. He may have porn addiction and it’s a disease. It may need therapy and lots of prayers. God loves you sister
“This is the problem with Christianity: It establishes unrealistic, irrational and immoral criteria by which to live, and then it creates a loophole in which you don’t have to be responsible for those actions.”

i meant or cut off hand
@jdwagman would not the gouging out of the eye and cutting off the hand in the most wooden literal sense be missing the mark on hyperbole?

You are in danger of a great judgement
