AI OVERVIEW: Sexual sin extends beyond physical acts to the heart; looking at another person lustfully constitutes adultery in the heart, and lust can manifest as thoughts and fantasies. Marriage vows emphasize faithfulness and body purity, while Jesus sharpens the command by teaching that adultery includes inner desire and makes clear that porn and masturbation can be forms of heart adultery; radical steps, such as removing sources of temptation, are urged to avoid lifelong consequences, including division in marriage and eternal judgment. Believers are told that through Christ they have already been set free from sin (Romans 6), and that Jesus is willing to heal and cleanse when brought to him, with practical help offered to walk in victory.
