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, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT
Arguments that contradict God's word:
It's legal (God's plan is higher than mans plan)
It's biological (You're not an animal, you're an image bearer) 1 Cor 6:13
- desires are man made
- God changes our desires, comforms us to Christ
It's my body, (It's God's 1 Cor 6:13-14)
- you didn't create it, you steward your body
It only affects me
- 1 Cor 6:15,16 - sex is more than physical
- see family and community impact
- we are never alone, God knows us completely (Psalm 139, 1 Cor 6:19-20)
- we drag Jesus reputation through the mud. We carry his name in vain. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
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.
1 Corinthians 6:18 NLT
