MORALITY: the character of being in accord with the principles or standards of right conduct which is opposed to conduct that is wrong
3
BEWARE OF THE INTIMIDATION OF IMMORALITY
4
Intimidation is to be expected from men who oppose righteousness.
Enemies of Christ opposed what He stood for and what He stood against (John 15:18, 20, 22). Man loves darkness (John 3:19-20; 1 John 2:16). Christians are children of Light (Ephesians 5:6). Excellent behavior will be slandered (1 Pet. 2:12). Good behavior will be reviled (1 Pet. 3:15, 16). No-longer-fleshly lives will be maligned (1 Pet. 4:4).
5
Good behavior in Christ no longer lives in the flesh for the lusts of men.
1 Peter 4:1-2 God’s will, living to please the Lord takes precedence always (Eph. 4:10). God defines what is good. Luke 18:19; Romans 3:10, 12; 7:12; 2 Timothy 3:17 God exposes what is sinful. 1 John 3:4; 1 Timothy 1:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
6
Sexual immorality is always wrong.
God did not create the physical body for sinful pleasures. Fornication is sin; it is to be abstained from. 1 Thessalonians 4:4; 1 Corinthians 6:18 All sexual sins; all illicit intercourse A work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19)
7
Sexual immorality is always wrong.
Adulterers and adulteresses will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). A violation of a covenant (Malachi 2:14, 16) A breaking of one’s word (Psalm 15:2, 4) Unlawful intimacy and intercourse with another person who is not one’s God-joined spouse To divorce not according to the Lord’s teaching and then remarry is to practice adultery (Matthew 19:9; Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18). God condemns adultery (Hebrews 13:4; Rev 2:18).
8
Sexual immorality is always wrong.
Homosexuality is sin just as much as fornication and adultery (1 Corinthians 6:9). God’s law is designed to expose sin including homosexuality (1 Timothy 1:9). Homosexuality flourishes when truth is exchanged for lies (Romans 1:21, 24-27). Increasing promiscuous society is fertile soil for men and woman to exchange the natural function for that which is unnatural.
