How do we know the seventh commandment is true?

Answered in 1 source

The seventh commandment encompasses not only adultery but also lustful thoughts and desires.

Jesus expounds the seventh commandment in Matthew 5:27-28, revealing that true obedience goes beyond the physical act of adultery to include the thoughts and intentions of the heart. This means that even lustful gazes or fantasies can violate God's standard, illustrating His expectations for purity. The commandment is therefore true not only because of its letter but because it emphasizes the overarching holiness God requires within His people. Understanding this truth compels Christians to pursue righteousness that aligns with God's heart and character.
