Shocked? You shouldn’t be. You are a whore too.
I came to this sudden realization one day, as I read through Scripture and wondered why God chose to refer to His people, so often in the Old Testament, as His adulterous people. Yes, His adulterous, prostituted, unfaithful, and harlot people.
In Ezekiel 16, this is most clear. The Lord refers to His nation as a child who was born and then cast aside. Squirming, covered in her own blood, the child kicked. Her death would be imminent without intervention. But the Lord passed by, took notice, and began to care for the child. He cleaned her and dressed her in fine clothes and jewelry. He watched her grow from a young child into a young woman. And the Lord entered into a covenant with her, and she became His wife.
She was very beautiful, because the Lord had made her so. Yet she shared her beauty with others, instead of reserving it for her husband. She took the attractive clothing her husband had made for her and transformed them into shrines to worship. She remade the gorgeous jewelry given her by her husband into idols to revere.
She has become an adulteress. A whore. And so have I. I am that whore.
It was the Jewish custom in the days of the Bible that a man and a woman enter into a betrothal prior to their wedding. During the betrothal period, the man and the woman were pledged to each other for life. They were regarded as husband and wife, although they did not yet share a bed. The betrothal included vows, and for either person to break those vows would make them an adulterer. And the results of adultery were divorce, or worse, death.
After a certain period of time, the betrothed groom would come for his bride, and there would be a large feast and a wedding celebration. At that point, the betrothed couple would then be married, they would share a bed, and the rest of their lives together would begin.
As Christians, we are betrothed to Jesus. We have entered into a relationship with the Lord. We have made a vow to love Him and serve Him alone. We have promised to be faithful to Him alone. At our baptism, we forsake all others who may pledge for our allegiance, and we become His bride.
Jesus, our bridegroom, is one day returning for us. A large feast will be prepared, a celebration is in planning, and the rest of eternity is ours to spend united with our husband. However, like the beautiful young girl that the Lord took in and nurtured and made His wife, I also have forsaken my groom.
As a bride, I am supposed to love and place Jesus, my groom, above all in my life. But I fail in this. I sometimes love to sleep in more than I love to get up and have a quiet time of reading the Scriptures and prayer. As a bride, I am called to be faithful to my future husband. But whenever money gets tight in my home, I often find that it’s much easier to put my faith in worry than in the God who can meet all my needs. As a bride, I am expected to remain pure both in what I see and hear, but also in what I think and do. But my innocence is lost so quickly in the age of the media, combined with my lack of self-control.
In actuality, whenever I embrace somebody in my life as more important than Jesus, I am committing adultery. If my job consumes more of me than my Jesus, I am prostituting myself out. If I forsake Jesus in order to indulge in any sin, than I am a bride who sneaks out on her groom and sleeps with another.
Sound terrible? It is. But do you know the man to whom we are betrothed? Because of our sins as a bride, Jesus has the right to leave us for another more faithful and loving, but the truth and the scandal is this: He doesn’t want anybody else. His desire is for us. His heart beats for us. We are the one and only bride that He longs to spend the rest of eternity with.
It is Jesus’ passionate and relentless love for His harlot bride that nailed Him to the cross. In Ephesians 5:25-27, Paul gives instructions to husbands in regard to how they should love their wives. He uses as his example for love and sacrifice the ultimate husband, Jesus.
Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church (his bride) and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church (bride), without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Jesus loves His adulterous bride. So much that He gave His very life up for her. Our infidelity has dirtied us and our disloyalty has blemished us. But this sacrifice by Jesus frees us, who are whores, to wear white on our wedding day. We are forgiven as we walk down the aisle. We are in His eyes, the most beautiful and most precious bride that the world has ever known. And He is the one, by His death and burial and resurrection, who has given us that beauty.
Jesus loves adulterous people. Jesus also loves His radiant, holy, and blameless bride. We are one and the same.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ...

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled. Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem. “Oholah played the whore while she was mine, and she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors ...

So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. ...

To keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words. For at the window of my house I have looked out through my lattice, and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense, passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house in the twilight, in the evening, at the time of night and darkness. ...

And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell.

“Thus says the Lord : Stand in the court of the Lord 's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah that come to worship in the house of the Lord all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not hold back a word.

The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness. But you, draw near, sons of the sorceress, offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman. Whom are you mocking? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the offspring of deceit, you who burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? ...

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—

But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.

Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,

Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Again the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations, and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. And as for your birth, on the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born. ...

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger, if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor. Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler. ...

But the Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine?”

After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” ...

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

Then Joram reined about and fled, saying to Ahaziah, “Treachery, O Ahaziah!”

And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.

You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you.

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

Who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” ...

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Do not move the ancient landmark that your fathers have set.

Know that the Lord , he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

O you who love the Lord , hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord , and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

For the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished. People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry, ...

Rahab: a prostitute from an ancient conquered city. She is only mentioned a few times in Scripture, yet she played a pivotal role in history. She hid Joshua and his spies as they scouted out Jericho. For this she was rewarded with her life—she and her family were spared in the destruction of their city. Her role in biblical history was also crucial on another plane. She was part of the lineage of Christ.
