Adultery is a delicate subject. It’s the kind of thing that brings a lot of pain and a lot of shame. When it happens, it might feel like discussing it is too difficult, but that is when we must remember that God is always listening and that He has the answer to get us through.

As I see it, when people go through such difficult things, they try to reconcile personal experiences with what Scripture teaches. Whether it’s during a Bible study or a quiet one-on-one conversation, adultery is one of those subjects that people want to understand clearly, without judgment, but with truth.

So, what is adultery according to the Bible? At its core, it’s more than just a broken rule, it’s about broken trust. But the Bible doesn’t just speak about the sin; it also speaks about restoration, forgiveness, and the way back.

In this article, we’ll look at how adultery is defined in Scripture, the deeper meaning behind the commandment, and what the Bible teaches about repentance, grace, and healing.
