We live in a time where sin and especially fornication is normal. But God’s Spirit does not subordinate itself to our spirit of the times, but we are allowed to adapt God’s standards for our lifestyle and dedicate ourselves to a holy devotion to His Word.

Fornication = extra-marital sex, which includes adultery, fornication and prostitution.

Colossians 3

5 Kill therefore your members that are on the earth: Fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil lust, and the covetousness that is idolatry;

6 Because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience;

7 Among them you also once walked, when you were living in these things.

8 But now you also put away all these things – wrath, anger, wickedness, blasphemy, ugly sayings from your mouth.

A teaching from Jesus in Matthew 5

27 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, “You shall not commit adultery.

28 But I say to you: Whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 But if your right eye becomes an offense [to sin], pluck it out and throw it from you. For it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

30 And if your right hand becomes an offense [to sin] for you, cut it off and throw it from you. For it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

The antidote is a wonderful promise

John 1

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

may the Lord bless you while seeking truth … shalom
