What does it mean, for believers, that God will 'judge the adulterers and the sexually immoral'?
God judges those who have defiled their wedding bed. If we are forgiven after repenting, what does God' judgement mean?
Hebrews 13:4
ESV - 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Believers who commit these sins certainly may be forgiven, but they will lose rewards in heaven (Eph. 5:5-18.). David was forgiven, but he suffered the consequences of his adultery for years to come, and he suffered in the hardest way: through his own children. In these days, when sexual sins are paraded as entertainment in movies and on television, the church needs to take a stand for the purity of the marriage bond. A devoted Christian home is the nearest thing to heaven on earth, and it starts with a Christian marriage.
