Put on … purity (continued)
- Romans 13:12-14
- I Corinthians 5:1 – We need to admit how much of a temptation and problem this is, even among religious people.
Sex is a gift from God!
- The Bible not only warns against sex and sensuality outside of marriage but exalts them within marriage (Genesis 2:24; Proverbs 5:15-20; Song of Solomon; I Corinthians 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4). Will a marriage be everything that God intends without a sexual relationship?
- I Corinthians 6:16
- What happens if we raise our kids to think that all sex is dirty or undesirable?
Let us behave properly
