"Some Fatherly Advice about Adultery" - Dr. Walt
Russell
Proverbs 5
Intro: God's Fatherly advice is bolder than the advice of our earthly
families.
1. The wise person is very aware of the delicious lure of adultery.
Prov. 5:1-6
a. The wise person should learn before they live through an
adulterous relationship. (5:1-3)
b. Wisdom about adultery demands that you consider her bitter end:
death! (5:4-6)
2. More specifically, the price of adultery is very costly to you and
your family. Prov. 5:7-14
a. Be wise and physically stay away from those who tempt you to an
adulterous relationship. (5:7-8)
b. The results of an adulterous relationship will be giving
your strength and wealth to strangers. (5:9-11)
c. The regrets of an adulterous relationship will be your ignorance
and shame before the whole assembly. (5:12-14)
3. The better way is to have a rich sexuality in your marriage.
Prov. 5:15-20)
a. Marital sex if full of overflowing blessing, not isolationism.
(5:15-17)
b. Marital sex is a choice to be passionate with your mate and to be
exhilarated with your lifelong marriage partner. (5:18-20)
4. God's recompense and sin's own judgment should motivate the wise
person to avoid the adulterous relationship.
Prov. 5:21-23
The message of Proverb 5: The superiority of marital love over adulterous
lust is evidenced in your family, ... finances, ... honor, ... life's conclusion,
and divine reward.
