The Way to Hell

(Proverbs 7:27 KJV)  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Why should we avoid adultery and fornication?  Because they lead to hell and “death” (4194).  They are not expressions of love, they are actions of sin.  Sin leads to death.

It is assumed that the woman is condemned just as it is assumed that the man could have avoided this.  When this man stands before the judgement seat it will not do him any good to point a finger at the woman who dragged him down.  We are responsible for our own lives and our own decisions.  It is possible that the man here could have repented.  That is always available.  But that is not mentioned here and is not the point of this story. 

So?  The standard is rejected by our world.  It is still God’s.  Stay sexually pure.  That is not celibacy, it is chastity.  Live it.
