Mark A. Copeland suffers, all the members suffer with it”) - 1 Co 12:26 2. By their awareness of their own vulnerability a. “since you yourselves are in the body also” b. They would not be immune to persecution themselves, therefore they should be sensitive to the sufferings of others CONCLUSION 1. In providing a “new and living way”, it is true that Jesus made possible a close relationship between man and God - cf. He 10:19-22 2. But the purity we experience through obeying the truth... a. Is not just that we may fellowship with God b. But so we may also have a fellowship with each other in sincerity and love! - cf. 1 Pe 1:22-23 3. Thus it naturally follows that as we draw near to God, we should also draw near one another; this we can do when we manifest love... a. Toward brethren - He 13:1 b. Toward strangers - He 13:2 c. Toward prisoners and the persecuted - He 13:3 May we all be diligent to heed the exhortation to “Let brotherly love continue”! Sermons From Hebrews 112
Mark A. Copeland Fornicators And Adulterers God Will Judge Hebrews 13:4 INTRODUCTION 1. In today’s society, the honor and sanctity of marriage is under constant attack... a. Divorce is acceptable, made easy through “no-fault” laws b. Adultery is considered normal, faithfulness to one’s spouse as unrealistic c. Among religious and political leaders, many say that standards against sexual immorality are antiquated 2. Even in the church, sexual immorality is a major problem as evidenced by... a. The high number of divorces among Christians b. The frequent reports of sexual failings among preachers, elders, and other Christians 3. This is not to say there are not those who still hold marriage in high esteem... a. Many people still believe sex is for marriage, and marriage is for life b. I’ve been blessed to have: 1) The example of my wife’s grandparents, married 77 years 2) The example of my grandmother, widowed with six children when only 30 years old, remaining single for over fifty years 3) Parents and in-laws who both were married over 50 years each 4) Three brothers, who along with myself are still married to our first wives 4. In truth, our culture today is not that much different from the society of the first century... a. Where divorce and remarriage was rampant (women were known to date events by their husbands; e.g., “Yes, that happened during husband #5.”) b. Fornication was acceptable, adultery barely frowned upon 5. But Christianity offers a true contrast of standards regarding morality... a. Through clear and unequivocal teaching - cf. 1 Co 6:9-10; Ga 5:19-21; Ep 5:3-5 b. The same sort of teaching is needed today, which is why we need to carefully heed the text of today’s lesson: “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” (He 13:4) 6. The verb “is” is not in the Greek, leading some to translate the first phrase as: a. “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled;” (NASV) b. “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure” (NIV), [Why should we honor marriage, and keep the “marriage bed” (a euphemism for marital relations) pure? Because God will judge those who violate it! To see how, let’s first define terms used in the last half...] I. DEFINITION OF TERMS A. “FORNICATORS”... Sermons From Hebrews 113
