As Christians, our bodies belong to Christ and they
are temples of His Holy Spirit. There is no partial
ownership in God's kingdom. Because we live in a
sexually corrupt and immoral society, we will be
confronted with sexual temptations. God tells us
to run the other way where sexual immorality is
presenting itself. That includes the depths of our
own minds. He knows how easy it is for us to get
carried and lulled away by its' subtle claws. If we
desire to be clean and holy vessels for Christ, we
will avoid sexual temptation and suggestions at
all costs.
Heavenly Father, we ask for your forgiveness when
we have allowed ourselves to stay in the presence
of sexually immorality, where others were speaking
of sexual things or making sexual jokes. Forgive us
for entertaining sexually inappropriate thoughts we
know are not right. Help us to run the other way
when sexual immorality is present no matter where
it is. In Jesus' name.
Read 1 Corinthians 6:18
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man
commits are outside his body, but he who sins
sexually sins against his own body." (NIV)
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without
the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth
against his own body." (KJV)
