What does the Bible say about spiritual adultery?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible warns against spiritual adultery as a turning away from true worship and faithfulness to God, often likened to being led astray by a deceptive 'strange woman' as described in Proverbs 7.

In Proverbs 7, spiritual adultery is depicted through the imagery of a 'strange woman' who tempts individuals away from true worship of God. This strange woman represents anything that draws our hearts away from Christ, be it worldly desires or false teachings that promise peace but lead to rebellion. The passage demonstrates how the heart, when unguarded and unrenewed, is susceptible to deceit, as it longs for satisfaction outside of the Lord. Spiritual adultery thus reveals the profound need for the keeping grace of God to remain faithful and to flee from any temptations that seek to ensnare us in our walk with Him.
