In The Scarlet Letter, the characters ask God for forgiveness, and God will forgive them regardless of their sins [SYN]. This novel showed adultery is a bad sin, not because it worse than other sins, but it will influence our life in bad ways.

However, God love the world that he sent Jesus to the world and suffer for our sins that we should believe that our sins were forgiven through him
