Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Here we have two important things: 1) a clear description of the sinfulness and eternal consequences of sexual immorality and other sin 2) a powerful description of the power of Jesus to change lives!
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
1 Corinthians 6:18
Sexual immorality should not be endured nor tolerated but fled from! It is a powerful sin that effects people at a deep level.
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:20 NIV
1) our bodies don't belong to us - they have been bought by Jesus
2) our bodies are a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit
Therefore we should only do in and with our bodies those things that honor God
