Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18
There stands a good chance that you have felt the urging. Whether you desire another person to come into your bedroom, so to speak, or you desire to go to theirs, we feel that sexual desire as humans. We also have a veritable brigade of shows, books, magazines, and movies telling us that sexual immorality is the answer to many things. Paul admonishes us to flee sexual immorality. Was this from a personal experience Paul had? Not necessarily. There are plenty of examples in the Old Testament, from Joseph who did flee it to David who did not, that show us the value of taking to our heels in the face of sexual temptation. Mercy and forgiveness are ours in Christ Jesus, but this temptation is one we are encouraged and commanded to run away from, and that flight begins in the mind.
Think on the things of Jesus today,
