Flee Sexual Immorality


"The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?" - 1 Corinthians 6:13-15


Everyone should avoid having sexual immorality, for that is the way God wants it to be. We should treat our bodies as it is the Lords, for it is his. You are sinning against your own body when you have sexual immorality. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you. You shall worship God and obey his commandments. If you do not know the definition of sexual immorality, then you shall look it up. Because of the temptations of this it is good for a man and a woman to marry. Not just for this very reasoning! That is foolish. Hear this out,


"Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." - 1 Corinthians 7:1-2,5


God wishes for everyone to not have sexual relations before marriage; therefore, we should all obey that command. Worship him, and glorify his name in your ways. Respect your body, for God has made us in his name. Flee from sexual immorality, be strong and do not lose self-control in any way. Always be in control and do not let your sexual ways get in control. 


"But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:17-20

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

Amen.
