This is a part of my morning devotions Scriptures from 1 Corinthian some comments are included and some by me.
1 Corinthians 6:15-20 KJV
[15]Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
[16] What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
[17] But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
[18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
[19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Statistics reveal that a huge percentage of people (both Christians and non-Christians, men and women) are impacted by pornography. Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery, in their book, Pulling Back the Shades, state that “many women get pulled into erotica simply because they are bored, desperate for an escape from the drudgery of normal life.”
Sexual immorality and perversion are not new problems; they had also infiltrated the early church. Jude continues his description of individuals who are not truly friends of God’s children. He reminds us of what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis, the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me” (18:20–21).
The Lord doesn’t seem to operate in this way anymore. But we must never assume that God’s view of sexual immorality has changed. It is clearly stated in both the Old and New Testaments. The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Flee from sexual immorality” (1 Cor. 6:18). Sexual immorality signals that something has gone awry in a person’s relationship with the Lord. God desires better for the children He loves. The apostle Peter reminds us, “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do (1 Peter 1:14–15).
Our culture embraces and promotes sexual immorality. As God’s children we should take steps to protect ourselves from its impact. If you’re struggling, let me suggest a few things. First, commit yourself to growing in your relationship with the Lord through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Second, find a Christian friend who will help keep you accountable. Third, take a vacation from social media.
My comments
As most of you know I've been struggling with sexual immorality
But my faith in God and my prayers and putting on the Whole Armor of God has helped immensely helped as of Sunday I know have 3weeks clean but I know its only by God's grace and not giving into the temptations of lust that I have achieved this but I take it one day at a time not a week or a month but a day at a time. Yes set goal for your self but only a day at a time and keep faith in Jesus that he will bring you through this battle and you to can be victorious.
