what is adultery and who is a child of an adulterous person. how does a child of an adulterous becomes perfect

Juliet,

Any person, regardless of birth status, can come to Jesus for salvation and the Holy Spirit will impute the righteousness of Jesus unto us so that we will be holy and acceptable to God. We are made perfect in Jesus because He is our righteousness. There is no other way to become "perfect" (which can mean completely righteous or else complete in all ways). Jesus is our Mediator, who intercedes for us by the fact of His shed blood for us.

Someone who commits adultery is one who has sexual relations with someone who is not their spouse. Sexual immortality includes adultery, but also fornication (having sexual relations when not married), homosexual relations, and other sexual perversions, such as viewing pornography and sexual lusting in our minds.

Jeremiah 31:29 "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge." That means that there are no longer generational "curses", so to speak. Everyone is accountable for their own sins. A child will not be held accountable for what his/her parents did. And, the only way to become perfect, is through Jesus Christ. We all need Him. We're all sinners and need a Saviour. That's why He took our sins to the cross, died in our place. Only through Jesus is our sins totally wiped out, washed away. I hope that helped. God Bless
