In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave us warnings about adultery. God also did this all through the Old Testament. Adultery is a grievous sin in God's sight and yet of course he forgives this as he forgives all sins.
Jesus came into contact with adulterers and prostitutes. He always treated them with the utmost respect and love. The woman he met at the well of Jacob had been married five times and was living with a man. Jesus asked her for a drink of water and then spoke with her about the things of God and told her he was the Messiah. He said, "Whoever drinks of the water I give him will never thirst...it will become a spring of water welling up into eternal life." John 4:14
The Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus. They wanted to stone her to death and asked Jesus what they should do. He said, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
No one did and Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?" She replied, "No man, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." John 8:10-11
Jesus loves to help us, no matter what we have done in this life. He longs for us to come to him. "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you to me with loving kindness." Jeremiah 31:3
