Dear reader, the Bible warns men against flirting with married women. God will punish any man who sleeps with a married woman.
Do not lust after a married woman.
First, God’s written word in the Bible is clear about this type of fornication. God warns any man against lusting after a married woman.
Listen to what God says:
Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
Proverbs 6:25
Expect God to Judge You
Second, when dating a married woman, be prepared to face judgement from God. The woman’s spouse may not discover the affair, but God sees everything that takes place.
Expect punishment from God.
Third, any man should expect punishment from God if he sleeps with a married woman. This is exatly what happened to King David when he slept with Beersheba, Uriah’s wife.
Listen to what God’s written word in the Bible says:
Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
Proverbs 6:27-29
Be Prepared for Confrontation with the other man.
Furthermore, if you sleep with a married woman, God will find the means to inform the woman’s spouse. This may be through dreams or friends. Ultimately, the woman’s spouse will know your relationship with his wife.
Consequently, if the married woman’s spouse discovers the affair, you may face a direct confrontation. This could involve heated arguments, threats, physical altercations and death.
God severely punished King Davind for sleeping with Uriah’s wife.
After King David slept with Uriah’s wife, God punished David by taking the life of the child that he and Bathsheba conceived in their sin. Second, God removed some of His protection from King David’s household. As a result, there was a lot of trouble in King David’s family.
