Adultery & Fornication - 5

 The consequences & why we should abstain from them

Ephesians 5:5 ESV
For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is SEXUALLY IMMORAL or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Proverbs 6:32 ESV
He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
Acts 15:29 ESV
That you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from SEXUAL IMMORALITY. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. ..
Revelation 22:15 ESV
Outside (God's kingdom) are the dogs and sorcerers and the SEXUALLY IMMORAL and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
1 Corinthians 6:9 ESV
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the SEXUAL IMMORALITY, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality...
Galatians 5:19–21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, ORGIES, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I pray God help us all to understand and run away from sexual immorality and keep our body to honour and glorify God in Jesus Name. AMEN

Forgiving others

It is very important and required of us to forgive others when they offend us. Yes, some offence can be so painful that we feel they cannot be forgiven. We may even feel justified to hold people in unforgiveness because of the magnitude or sensitivity of their offence against us or even others. But what does our evenly father wants us to do? "To forgive everyone their offence." How easy is that? Yes, It is not always easy but it is possible by God's grace. Remember we can do all things (including forgiving) through Christ that strengthens us. We can start by willing to forgive and let go, ask God to help you, tell Him how pained you feel and how difficult it is to let go, be sincere about your feelings (He knows anyways) and then trust and depend on the grace of God going forward. Simply say "God help me" whenever the ill-feeling comes up. Do that each day until you are completely healed. Yes, healed. Forgiving is a healing process; you have been wounded, bruise...

Forgiveness

When we do what is wrong, we need forgiveness to be set free of guilt and make peace with the one that we have offended. Same applies to when others offend us, we are to forgive them their offence against us. As humans, we think there are offences that are hard to forgive or cannot be forgiven but there is no offence too hard for God to forgive us, likewise God wants us to forgive anyone who offends us. Do you feel you have not sinned? Do you feel you have sinned and cannot be forgiven? Do you feel some has offended you and can never be forgiven? Let search God's Word together. The word of God below is an assurance that you can be forgiven; 1 John 1:8-10 New International Version If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him (God) out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
