Flee From Sexual Immorality


We were all once unrighteous, yet we are made righteous through Christ. Paul says in verse 9 of the sixth chapter in 1 Corinthians that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. And if that wasnt clear enough, he goes on to list many of the major sins from drunkenness, homosexuality, adultery, idolatry to sexual immorality. But in this chapter he veers focus towards sexual immorality much more. This is because sexual sins have a spiritual component, having it be a sin that is against Christ as well as yourself.

Flee. Paul tells us to flee. He doesnt even tell us to face it head on, but he tells us to turn the other way and run. Our body is not meant for sexual immorality, our body is a temple of God, and we should be glorifying God through it and with it. Let us honor Him. Everything we have belongs to Him, he's given us our bodies as a vehicle, a vessel and an instrument to carry out his will, not for self pleasure or selfish desires. Let us use God's creation for good, and not evil.

verse of the day: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
