SEXUAL IMMORALITY

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Lust

a) There are many words that come to mind when we think of sin in the Bible.  Sometimes a topic of sin will take our minds to the “Seven Deadly Sins.” One of these sins is the sin of lust.  The word lust seems to have an underlying message of pleasing one’s self.  It is often looking on something and having a passionate desire to have or obtain that thing or even person.  Sometimes this will be a sexual sin but not always.  We can lust on things that are not necessarily sexual but many times lust does involve sexual idolatry.  

Matthew 5:28

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

2. Sexual Immorality

1 Corinthians 6:18 
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

Galatians 5:19-21 
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Colossians 3:5  
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Hebrews 13:4 
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

The End ...
