“It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality” – 1 Thessalonians 4:3
Gavin Tsuda is the Volunteer Director at New Hope Oahu in Honolulu. He wrote the following about this passage: “We are called to live lives that are holy and pleasing to the Lord. This includes refraining from sexual immorality, which is so commonplace in the world today. Sexual immorality has become the norm, and what is holy is pushed aside by the world as damaging. The Word is clear that sexual relations is reserved for marriage between a man and a woman. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has not changed His mind on this matter, and He never will. God does not sway back and forth with the world or the desires of man. God desires that we live out the best life that He designed for us. As our designer, He knows what is best for us. Therefore, we should continually focus on our sanctification, living lives that are pure, holy, God-honoring, and aligned with the Word of God.”
Sexual immorality ruins lives and it is sin. Today in prayer, thank the Lord for His warning on sexual immorality, confess any sin of sexual immorality in your life and pray that you will not fall into any temptation.
“Within marriage, sex is beautiful, fulfilling, creative. Outside of marriage, it is ugly, destructive, and damning.” – John MacArthur
God’s Word: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.” – 1 Corinthians 6:18
