1 Corinthians 6:18-19 (NKJV) 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
What is one thing that can keep millions of people from entering heaven?
Fornication. It is sex between two unmarried people. A sin against our body, the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
We are not our own.
Sexual immorality is a lifestyle in today’s world.
Oh yes, people think its OK to live together and have sex without being married. Fornication is a big problem even in the lives of believers today.
The Bible’s message warning against fornication has definitely been watered down, and we have become desensitized to it.
It is not something we should take lightly.
When two people are living together outside of marriage, this is not even close to the same things as being committed or joined together as one in marriage.
Some people say, “well, I’ve been with so-and-so for many years”.
If you have not been joined together under God in matrimony, it means nothing.
Living together and having sex like a married couple, despite not being married, does not equate to being married. Anyone doing this is a fornicator. It doesn’t count as a marriage.
You are in the same category as the unrighteous.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
It is very important as a believer to understand that having sex outside of marriage is fornication and that fornicators will not enter the kingdom of heaven, unless they repent, make it right with God, and change their lifestyle.
Just because something is commonly accepted in today’s world, it does not make it right in God’s eyes.
If you are His child, make things right. Don’t be having sex unless you are married. And if your person will not marry you, then get out of the relationship. It’s as simple as that.
Your eternal life depends on you making the right choice for you.
If you need someone to do a marriage ceremony for you, we are willing to do it for you.
You don’t need a fancy wedding with a big crowd. You don’t need to spend a lot of money.
Just help us get there and give us a little of your time, and we will get it done.
May God help you make the right decision today. Amen.
