       Now, even those who haven’t accepted Christ’s provision yet are still loved by God, as they should still be loved by us. For God loves the world. I think James brings up the sins of adultery and murder here because they are very destructive sins. Just like I said in the blood analogy, that a disease will taint all of our blood, so it is with adultery. If a person takes part in the sin of adultery, that causes permanent consequences between the marriage partners. Things can never be exactly the same again. They can be restored to being pretty good, but that sin is big enough that it will most certainly have a lasting effect. And so it with murder. If one person murders another, that affects a lot of people. It takes away the loved one who was murdered from their family and friends, and it affects the image of the person who murdered. Nothing can bring the murdered person back in this life. I know this is serious talk, but we need to understand that sin—especially big sin—God called out in the Bible for our own good.
