The reason you will inherit the kingdom* once you believe is because Christ paid for your sins. The reason those adulterers will not inherit the kingdom is because their sin is repulsive before a holy judge. Jesus amplified the description of adultery to include lustful thoughts (Mat 5:28).īut Titus 3:4 describes that the kindness and love of God brought salvation to ungodly man through Jesus Christ’s blood payment for sins. Yet, without the mystery of Christ all of us would fit many of those descriptions and would not qualify to enter the kingdom of God. Their sins are so wicked in the judicial and righteous eyes of God that he can do nothing else but cast them out of the kingdom. The reason that they shall not is because there is no payment for their sins. It is true that adulterers, fornicators, drunkards, and idolators shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” – Eph 5:5-6 The excuse of “couldn’t help himself” is not a valid excuse. In fact, even under the dispensation of grace God condemns it as you pointed out. First of all, adultery is wrong and is never something God advocates.
