Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such
things.
Nowhere does the Bible teach that sex in itself is a sin.
Man in his sinful nature has taken what was intended to be a glorious and
complete act of love between two people and has made it something low, cheap,
and dirty. The Bible is one of the world’s outspoken books on the subject of
sex, and the Bible condemns sex outside the bonds of matrimony. The fact that
immorality is rampant throughout the nation doesn’t make it right; the fact
that some clergymen may condone it doesn’t make it right. The Bible says,
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways
of death” (Proverbs 16:25). Under Jewish law adultery was punishable by death.
Under God’s law today it also results in spiritual death.
Thought for today:
Do I bring all of who I am under God’s subjection?
