“Listen to the Word of God”

The question is why do we continue to live with sin in our lives? Do we not know or understand the word of God.

What does the Word of God say?

​

1Co 6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, KJV

⛓️‍💥

1 Corinthians 6:9 NLT

Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 

​

1Co 6:10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. KJV

 ⛓️‍💥

1 Corinthians 6:10 NLT

or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Those called unrighteous are those who do wrong. Who are not living as the word of God tells us.

Those called Fornicators are those who indulge in sexual sin.

Read a version that helps you understand clearly what the word is saying.

Col 3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Col 3:6  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Colossians 3:5-6 NLT

[5] So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don't be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 

6] Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. …

​

1 Corinthians 6:12-20 NLT

12] You say, I am allowed to do anything"-but not everything is good for you. And even though "I am allowed to do anything, I must not become a slave to anything. 

13] You say, "Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food." (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. 

14] And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.  

15] Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! 

16] And don't you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one.

17] But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. 

18] Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. 

19] Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 

20] for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

We have free will and can do what we want. But, is what we want in alignment with what God wants? 

1Corinthians 6:12-120 shows us that our body is a part of the Lord.

Sex is a sin and there are no excuses found in his word that says it is ok. Just because we have free will, it does not give us freedom to do it

As stated in verse 12👇🏽

You say, I am allowed to do anything- but not everything is good for you. And even though I am allowed to do anything, I must not become a slave to anything. 

You could continue to live in fornication, no one is physically holding you back, but that doesn’t mean you should. And if you continue to do this, you leave your soul stagnant in sin. 

God calls fornication-sin. It is having sex unmarried. 1Cor 6:18 says flee fornication.👇🏽

NLT

1 Corinthians 6:18 Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.

KJV

1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

​

1Cor 6:15-16 review 

15] Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! 

16] And don't you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one.

👇🏽

Genesis 2:24

24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.👇🏽

Ephesians 5:31

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

👇🏽

Matthew 19:4-5 NLT

4 Haven't you read the Scriptures? Jesus replied. They record that from the beginning 'God made them male and female.

5 And he said,  This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. 

Mark 10:8 and the two are united into one.' Since they are no longer two but one,

✨I want to point out that what is stated here in Genesis in the Old Testament is the same in the New Testament. 

What was relevant in ancient days, by God, continues to be relevant in the New Testament and for present day.

In our fast moving society, what the Lord has laid out remains the same and anything that is different from this, is not in alignment with God.

One flesh. It doesn’t say, living together and fornicating is ok, or permissible.

It doesn’t say anything about one person being a good person. It states what God expects us to do and not do. If we choose to carry on in fornication in any circumstance, it is disobedience to the Lord.

In Hebrews, it tells us the marriage bed is undefiled.👇🏽

Hebrews 13:4

4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
