What God Says About Your Sex Life

law's purpose is to protect our minds-our thoughts and our
attitudes.
Satan the Author of Adultery
God is the author of sex. He is the one who made the
human body, and he is the one who designed that sex should
be a pleasure bond between a legally married husband and
wife
in
the privacy of their own home.
But it is Satan the devil and his wrong attitudes that
injected the attitude of faithlessness or adultery into the

attitudes-but we do read that Adam and Eve's pure motives
were definitely tainted by their eating of the forbidden fruit

Adam and Eve covered
themselves out of a newly
found sense of shame, which
resulted from Satan's influ–

It is from Satan that
man gets his human na–
ture-his evil "heart." And it is from this evil heart that man
gets his propensity for sexual sin (Matt. 15:19).
