Introduction:
Pray.
1. God Calls Us to Live Holy Lives (vv.1-3)
2. God Commands Us to Be Sexually Pure (vv.3-7)
-In order to be sanctified we must be self- controlled.
Sexual purity is probably one of the areas where man struggles the most in obeying God.
We get animalistic about our passions and lusts and tend to disregard what we know in our head and follow what the body desires instead.
Paul said Romans 7:21-25
We are called to bring our body under control and use it for holiness and honor
We are called to love our brother by not violating the sanctity of marriage
If you fornicate (sex before or outside of marriage) you are harming someone by violating their future or current spouse
God takes sexual sin so seriously that the Bible says that He is an avenger against those who violate God’s law in this area
We can throw into this category sexual sins of the mind as well as the body because of what Jesus said in Matthew,
Notice the extremity that Jesus says we are to go to in order to prevent sexual sin.
Now, this is hyperbolic, meaning that it is an extreme exaggeration to get the point across, but it still is important to understand the seriousness of these commads.
3. God Gives Us His Spirit to Obey (v.8)
How is it possible for us to keep the commands with such a carnal spirit at work in our flesh?
We must rely upon the Word and the Spirit.
Paul challenged the believers that would consider this to be an opinion and said that they were disregarding God himself and not just Paul
Paul also reminds them that God has given them the Holy Spirit.
Most of us relegate the Holy Spirit to a force and not a Person of the Godhead.
We don’t pray to Him for help.
We don’t think about how our sin grieves Him.
We don’t rely upon Him, and it is to our shame.
