"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you." 1 Corinthians 5:1-2 NKJV
Can I reveal a secret to you? NOW is the time to follow God's word—don't delay any longer. When are you going to start doing what he says in his word? In 2110? The moment to act on God's teachings is NOW.
Each day, remind yourself of His expectations by reading the Scriptures or recalling Bible verses and put them into practice.
The Bible clearly instructs us to avoid sexual immorality. God desires purity in every aspect of our lives, including our sexual conduct. For men, that means engaging in sexual relations only with their wives and for women, only with their husbands.
To say no to sexual immorality means abstaining from sex before marriage and focusing on having solely your spouse after marriage.
There is freedom. You don't have to be trapped. God can easily assist you in overcoming any ungodly thoughts or habits you may have formed by offering you new insights, techniques, and a transformed mindset. As you work on personal growth and apply these principles, you'll cultivate new, righteous (godly) habits that bring you joy.
Overcoming, changing, forming these new habits all begins with saying NO to (rejecting) what is wrong (before God) and then establishing new lifelong godly practices. Why would you depart from what is so good? What God offers us is SO good. Godliness is so good. Living a godly life for the God you chose brings immense goodness. In that realm, you uncover great and mighty things that you've never known before. It's eternally beneficial. See? You choose to stay; you don't walk away. That's how God got me. There isn't anything better than God's goodness. I was forever amazed.
