What is spiritual adultery?

Sincerely,
Looking For A Definition

Dear Looking For A Definition,

Spiritual adultery is when someone worships anything other than God.  In Ex 34:15-16, God specifically refers to worshipping false gods as harlotry.  A christian’s relationship to Christ is compared to a marriage (Eph 5:23).  If a christian turns to idolatry and rebellion, it is the same as defiling a marriage with adultery.  God is a jealous God and wants us all to Himself (Ex 34:14).
