… Godly facts you may not know about SEX

One of the major weaknesses of mankind is sex. We have battled with it, not just lost the battle, but enslaved by it. We are unknowingly living at the mercy of our feelings. Our feelings have absolute control over our lives and we are gradually drowning in the ocean of lust.

Gone are those days when Virginity is a pride, adultery is a shame and fornication unacceptable. Today, all stated above is the order of the day. A virgin is ashamed of his/her status, men desire to marry a woman that is experienced in bed, and parents give the boy child condom for protection and sex is the best advertising strategy for products and services.

When the feeling lashes us, we cowardly succumb disregarding the upshot. Prevalent diseases are as a result of men exchanging natural relation with unnatural ones; homosexuality, Bestiality, sexual objectification etc. The physical consequences (HIV/AIDS, STDs etc.) are nothing to be compared with the spiritual outcome on the soul.

It is time we get freedom from these vices that easily entangles us through the knowledge of Godly facts we may not know about SEX.

• All other sin a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his body (1 Corinthians 6:18).  

•  Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders (1 Corinthians 6:8)  

•  Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s Temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyonedestroys God’s Temple, God will destroy him; for God’s Temple is SACRED, and you are thatTEMPLE (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).   

•   Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her? For it is written, “The two will become one flesh” (1 Corinthians 6:16). 

•   It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality, that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable (1 Thessalonians 4:3).

•  We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did –and in one day twenty Three- Thousand of them died (1 Corinthians 10:8)   

•    ... The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body (1 Corinthians 6:13). 

•  When tempted, no one should, “say God is tempting me”. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed (James 1:13-14).     

•  Like a City whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control (Proverbs 25:28).

•  “Everything is permissible for me”-but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me”- but I will not be mastered by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12).

Sexual Immorality kills and exposes us to lots of avoidable heartaches. It can even cause us a life time of peace and happiness. Thank God for His Grace that is readily available through His Wisdom (Jesus Christ). All we need is to resist the devil and he will flee from us (James 4:7).

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Do we lack Wisdom (Christ)? Ask God, He gives generously without finding fault and we will receive (James 1:5).

Stay Blessed!
