Today our discussion will be coming from the Bible, the word of God that keeps us from errors.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20King James Version
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.
The instruction of God in the above passage of the bible is clear, God simply wants us to flee, no need to start checking it out, no need to wait for it to get to the last minute of seduction, don't even get yourself into places where sexual immortality is seen as normal just flee, don't be in an alone place with the opposite sex in such a way that it will lead to sexual immortality, avoid such dark places, flee, don't let your relationship with the person you are not yet married to be based on physical activities or calls and messages that put both of you in mood of you want to have sex, flee. There is no two ways to it, just flee. Once you notice the end result of what you are approaching is sex, don't start it, stay away from it. That is how to flee.
Someone may want to ask, why do I need to flee from everything and everyone, don't I deserve to have experience of what my mates are doing, am I supposed to be lonely and boring. Don't get yourself too worried, let's move on to the next verse of the passage, holy spirit will answer all the questions.
The verse 19 says, the reason God wants us to flee is because our bodies is His temple God wants to dwell in us, verse 18 also says one of the reasons God wants us to flee is because sexual immortality is sin against our own bodies, we are disrespecting ourselves by our own selves when we commit fornication, God created sex to be the most intimate gift we give to our marital partner which no one else should have access to, but when you are sharing this most intimate gift with anyone and everyone it is like saying you have no regards for your body, that is why most people who do it are never truly happy, some have to take harmful things to their bodies to make themselves insane many times to avoid the effect of the guilt coming to them every time.
God went further in the next verse to say, we should glorify God in our bodies. It's not just in words, lots of people today can say I love You Jesus 1000times in a day😂I have met them before, but their behaviour is far from anything Jesus commanded, God talks about such people in the Bible, with their lips they honour me but their hearts is far from me. This is also talking about some modern churches today whose choir are fornicators, they are worshipping God with their mouths but they are far from God in their hearts, God does not regard such worship, God wants whenever we are worshipping He can come to dwell in us and with us but His eyes doesn't behold iniquity, God stays away from people who are filled with immortality, the only time God listens to them is when they come for repentance.
Another part of the bible passage says, we have been bought with a price, we are not of ourselves, this is addressing those who have been saved, the blood of Jesus is the price that bought us from sin into a life in Christ, we can't live our lives anyhow. Our words, deeds, thoughts must be to please God not the flesh. May God help us. Amen
