If we love Him, the Bible says, we will keep His commandments. In other words, a person will not continue in an adulterous relationship.

Have you read Romans chapter 7 recently?

While I agree that the Spirit enables us to obey the commandments, temptation remains and obedience is not automatic. Even those who love God sometimes falter.

Regards

I will re-read Romans 7. I agree that we remain sinners but what I’m trying to say is that the Holy Spirit works within us to sanctify us. It is more a matter of yielding to Him than a lot of effort on my part! That’s reassuring to me.
