Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 6:18

Ok, so I had in mind what to write for today’s blog and God laid this passage on my heart. I was like, really God? Talk about a difficult subject. If you are reading this blog, you are the result of a man and woman who had sex, thus gave birth to you. That’s pretty simple. The Apostle Paul was inspired by God to write about sexual immorality in the 6^th  and 7^th chapters of 1 Corinthians. Check it out!

So I googled “sexual immorality” (not that I don’t have an idea what it is..I wanted to see what google had to say). Here is the first thing that came up….Morals vary from person to person, and it is difficult to define sexual immorality without using a social perspective. My own definition of sexual immorality would be in regards to dishonesty and taking advantage of another. If you tell someone that you are faithful to them and only them, but engage in activity with another, that is immoral.

Notice in the first sentence…”using a social perspective”. It seems today we base our ideas on what’s right and wrong using the world’s standards. Although some things may seem to make sense, the question is, how does it align with God’s purpose found in the bible.

So looking at it from the creator’s perspective, When God created man and woman, He made them with body parts that fit together. Those parts weren’t meant to be used in any other way, shape or form. If used in any other way it is considered sexual immorality. God only intended a man and woman who are bound in marriage to have sex…..”Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband. 1 Corinthians 7:2. Pretty cut and dry right there.

Sex is a big deal.  God created parts and hormones that work together to bring about something beautiful to be shared within the confines of marriage. Using sex for any other purpose is like using a hammer to cut down a tree. You can beat that tree as hard as you can, but eventually you will either hurt yourself of tire yourself out. I know, strange analogy, but its truth. If you want to find out more about what God says on sex read about it in the bible. God provided the bible as an instruction manual for life.

Read it and be wise to what it says. When you live by God’s standards, you will find blessings in every corner of your life. God bless!
