Honor God With Your Sexuality

-

"You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,
and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not
meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord
for the body."  1 Corinthians 6:13 (NIV)

First Corinthians chapter 7 is a marvelous essay on the paradox of single versus married life. In it you will hear Paul urge marriage for all, since there was (and regrettably still is) so much sexual immorality. You will also hear him urge the single life, since he personally so highly prized his independence. So which is it? Does God prefer singlehood or marriage? The answer is yes.

Anyone who is living in the 21st century is forced to live in an age of sex obsession. Sexual temptation is one of Satan’s very best weapons. It works reliably and leaves a trail of human wreckage in its wake.

Here is God’s will for your temple: “The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body” (1 Corinthians 6:13). Someone you know needs to know these things. Let God help you organize your thinking about human sexuality.

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
