The Seventh Commandment calls you to sexual purity not only in your actions, but also in your thoughts, desires, and what you allow into your mind. Rather than trying to manage temptation, God calls you to flee from it and guard your heart because you love Him and desire holiness. When the law exposes how far you fall short, it points you to Christ, whose righteousness covers you and whose grace enables you to pursue a life of purity and faithfulness.

The message teaches that fornication and adultery are dangerous sins that must not be reasoned with or entertained, but fled from, because they can destroy lives, reputations, homes, and consciences. Joseph refused the daily pressure of temptation, would not betray his master, and recognized that such wickedness would be sin against God. Though he was falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned, Joseph kept his integrity before the Lord, and the Lord was still with him, showed him mercy, and continued to use his life as a powerful example of faithfulness and purity in a wicked world.
