🌿 Adultery is Misalignment 🌿
When Jesus spoke of a “wicked and adulterous generation,” He wasn’t only speaking of physical unfaithfulness. He was revealing something deeper: adultery is when we join ourselves to what God never joined us to.
From the beginning, God created us in His image: “Male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27). He did not make Adam and then wonder who he might end up with. He created Adam and Eve together, in His mind, as one. That is covenant — alignment with the Word of God.
But the world calls many other unions “marriage.” A man might choose a woman for beauty, or a woman might choose a man for comfort or status. To the world, that looks right — but in truth, it is misalignment. And misalignment always bears fruit of brokenness. This is why so many marriages grow cold, even turn to lifeless arrangements. This is why children see their parents divided and come to doubt whether love and covenant are even real.
This is also why Jesus said:
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
— Matthew 22:30 (KJV)
In the resurrection, the seed of covenant is no longer bound to the corrupt soil of human choice, but flourishes in perfect alignment with God. Nothing hidden, nothing held back. In both honesty — the openness between man and woman — and in Truth — Christ Himself — we see the fullness of God’s design.
Yet God, in His mercy, does not cast away what was born in confusion. As Paul wrote:
“For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?”
— Romans 11:24 (KJV)
Even the wild branches — those grown out of misaligned soil — can be grafted back into the true tree of life. But notice: the branch does not make the tree true. It is the tree, rooted in Christ, that makes the branch alive.
This is the sword Christ spoke of — not a weapon of hate, but a division between truth and the lie. Between covenant and counterfeit. Between a love born of God’s Spirit and the hollow imitations the world calls “love.”
Perfect love does not bind — it frees. It casts out fear, heals the brokenhearted, and restores what was from the very beginning.
