Sermon #52 "The Seventh Commandment and Marriage"
Lord’s Day 41—Questions and Answers #108 and #109.
God gave the Seventh Commandment in order to protect the institution of marriage, which he gave to Adam and
Eve in the garden of Eden. Because of sin, because of depravity, marriage is always under attack, and this sermon
will show us what this commandment forbids, what it promotes, and what it condemns; under three main topics:
1. Adultery Forbidden.
2. Marriage Promoted.
3. All Immorality Condemned.
