The Sin of Immorality

Purity of mind, conscience, and body is a tremendous personal asset. While this alone is not godliness, it is a Christian virtue and a blessing to mankind. The declining moral values of today are allowing men and women to accept and indulge in behavior that the Bible clearly defines as sin. This behavior has become an accepted way of life for many people. That which God calls sin is often no longer called sin. What will be the result?

Television, movies, and much literature are filled with violence, sex, and other immoral practices. This evil influence is brought into the home for entertainment. The minds of men, women, and children are filled with lustful thoughts and desires. It is sad that this evil environment is even found in the homes of some professing christians today.

God's Word tells us that " evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, decieving and being decieved" (2 Timothy 3:13). "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection...despisers of those that are good...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" (2 Timothy 3:1-4).

" The heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" ( Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus told his disciples in words that we can understand and apply to our lives, " For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, " (Matthew 15:19).

" For as he [man or woman] thinketh in his heart, so is he" ( proverbs 23:7). Again Jesus says in the Holy Scriptures, "Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28).

Men and women are seeking a life of pleasure and are going to all means to satisfy their lust. They are enjoying today and not worrying about tomorrow, unconcerned about giving an account of their deeds on the judgement day when all must stand before God. Some of the pleasures which are indulged in today are drink, drugs, and sex. Men and women go to parties and dances to relax and enjoy themselves. There every passion can be aroused with very little or no control. They often indulge in drink and drugs which Rob them of their resonable sense. Satan is in control.

" Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and Whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" ( proverbs 20:1). " The theif cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy" (John 10:10).

Because of these indulgences, homes are broken, and innocent children are left without father or mother. Sometimes the resulting hatred is so great that it ends in murder. " The way of transgressors is hard" ( proverbs 13:15). In Galatians 5:19-21 we read that the works of the flesh are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, hatred, murders, drunkenness; and that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

It is accepted in many cultures to have a boy or girlfriend and start dating at a young age. This often is supported by the parents who think this will help their child be more accepted and included in the popular crowd. The young people soon become too familiar with each other. Much time is spent in dating and partying, which often leads to petting and sex. The reasoning might be that others are doing it. " But every man [ boy or girl] is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath concieved, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:14-15).

Many times young people do not consider the consequences of these sins. They think they can escape the penalty of sin, but no one is a match for Satan. Young men violate young women and the sacredness of procreation is lost. Concienses are defiled and purity is lost. Innocence is destroyed. The pure beginning that enhances intimacy in marriage is compromised.

Often times the girl finds herself pregnant. This results in shame, guilt, confusion, and the prospect of the responsibility of caring for a child. Often the mother resorts to an abortion. A life is destroyed, which adds still more sin and guilt to her heart. Otherwise, young people become parents at a premature age. The enjoyable years of youth are spoiled, the young girls friends forsake her, parents and family are dissapointed- all because of a little sinful enjoyement. These are the wages of sin. " The wages of sin is death" ( Romans 6:23)

Marriage is honorable and a blessing to those who follow the plan of God. God intended men and women to be happy and enjoy the marriage union. " Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled" ( Hebrews 13:4).

A couple in love with each other may plan to marry, but to live together as husband and wife without being properly married is sin in the eyes of God.

God spoke against homosexual practices. Through Moses he said, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). When one allows sexual lusts to dominate his thoughts, he will sometimes resort to deviant practices in order to satisfy his unrestrained passions.

Homosexuals no longer are ashamed of their immoral conduct. They have come out in the open and want to be accepted by society. Homosexuality is often excused because of inherited characteristics, however, personal accountability must be accepted.

" For Whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people" ( Leviticus 18:29). In regards to these sins, Romans 1:32 reads, " Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death"

Some serious diseases in the human race are the result of immoral conduct. The dreaded AIDS and other venereal diseases are common. Needless suffering and death have ensued because of these diseases. Those who defy the laws of God will endure the consequences of such disobediences.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" ( Matthew 5:8). The word chastity means to be sexually pure, not indulging in sexual relations outside of marriage ( fornication), not engaging in immoral practices. To be chaste is a command of God given to Moses for his people. " Thou shalt not commit Adultery" (Exodus 20:14).

Jesus says, " Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another committeth adultery: and Whosoever marrieth her that is put away committeth adultery: and Whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery" ( Luke 16:18).

Sexual sin is a great distraction to a person in his work causing him to deviate from his worthy goals or to neglect his duties. His family is neglected, which results in an unhappy home. Guilt from such sins often causes emotional distress. On the other hand, the rewards of pure living are great. A morally pure person can have peace of mind and freedom from fear, whereas the impure can have no part in the kingdom of God.

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?" ( 1 Corinthians 6:9).

The Spirit of God will reprove an individual of sin and will lead him to repentance. An immoral life can be changed and the sins forgiven if ones repentance is sincere. The first step is to recognize the sin and it's seriousness in the eyes of God, without an attempt to justify one's self. Then one must come to God with humility, acknowledging his guilt with heartfelt sorrow, pleading for forgiveness and asking for Grace to make restitution and forsake sin.

Jesus says,

" Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden [ with sin ], and I will give you rest" ( Matthew 11:28). " Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" ( Isaiah 1:18).

" The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be if a contrite spirit " ( Psalm 34:18).

Let us turn from our evil ways and call unto the Lord while there is still time.

How to begin a brand new life with God

Do you desire true peace with God?

Peacewithgod.net

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and God created a garden called Eden and he formed man from the dust off the ground. Then God put the man

" Adam" in the garden to till the ground, and he brought Adam all of the animals to see what he would name them.

God then brought Adam his wife who was called eve, and he gave them free will to choose good or evil, obedience or disobedience.

God told them that they could eat of every tree of the garden but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they could not eat or they would die.

At this point in time the first man and women were perfect and without evil or sin or even physical death, even the world itself was without the law of death.

But Satan who was a former angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven, saw eve in the garden and lied to her and said that if she ate the fruit that God told her not to eat, she would not die but become " like God" so the first woman believed the lie of the devil and ate of the fruit and gave it to her husband to eat.

When God saw what they had done by using their own free will to disobey him and that their eyes were now opened to both good and evil, he cursed the man, the woman and the serpent who decieved them and made animal skins to cover Adam and Eve and he drove the man and woman from the garden.

God also cursed the earth and the ground,

Did you know that this actually happened thousands of years ago? It's not a fairy tale or a nursery time, this is the story of the beginning of the creation.

This is why we see the horrible things happening in our world today because of Adam and eves disobedience and the evil that came upon the world from the devil.

Because Adam and Eve did this, they brought a horrible penalty upon the entire human race, which includes evil in our present world, physical death and also spiritual separation from God after death in a place of torture called hell which lasts forever. This place is not ficticious, it is a literal burning furnace where a person cannot die but is continually burned. It is a place of imprisonment.

In this current world if we brake the law, we serve our time and get out, but in hell the prison sentence lasts forever, with no chance of parole or pardon after death.

The Bible says

" for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" -Romans 6:23

There is extremely good news!!!

God has provided a way to be forgiven and a way to be saved from going to this place of torment, but the descision must be made while a person is still alive and on the earth after we die it is too late to repent.

What does repent truly mean?

It is not just to say you are sorry for your sins,

but repent really means to stop trusting in your own efforts to be made right with God and put your trust in his son Jesus to save you, he will help you turn away from your sins. Repentenance means to turn away from your sins and turn to Jesus.

In his Divine Mercy God send his own son Jesus Christ into the world 2000 years ago to be our savior.

He was born without sin because he came from God, he had no human father but was born from a virgin named Mary by the supernatural power of God.

This happened in the land of Israel 2000 years ago.

Yes that's right!!

God sent his own sinless son into the world to die for the sins of mankind and to pay the debt and the ransom for them to be saved.

Jesus was crucified on a cross by the Roman soldiers over 2000 years ago by the direction of God, to die in our place as our substitute, so that we could be forgiven and so we would not have to go to hell for our sins,

Jesus Christ was crucified and was buried and he was raised three days later by God back to life again, and afterward he ascended to heaven with his father again .

The Bible says in John 3:16

" for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life"

So since Jesus Christ has died for our sins and rose again from the dead and gone back to God his father what must a person do to be forgiven by God and saved from going to hell?

The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10

"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved,

For with the heart a person believes and is made righteous and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"

To be saved and forgiven by God a person must believe the truth of Jesus Christ that he is the son of God, and that God sent him into the world to die for their sins and they must believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead....

Then they must confess to God that they are a lost sinner and that they believe that Jesus died and rose again from the dead for them and ask Jesus Christ to come into their heart and be their Lord and savior. They must be batised in water and they will receive the gift of God's Holy Spirit who will come to live on the inside of them and change their life.

They then turn from their sinful ways and follow Jesus the rest of their life, trusting him alone as the only way to get to heaven.

Jesus will respond to this prayer and enter the person's heart and they will be forgiven and they can be assured heaven is their final destination.

The Bible says that a person is only justified in God's sight by faith in Jesus Christ ,

No one is justified by good works, or self effort, or trying to be a better person. No one can get to heaven by trying to be good or by trying to do good things,

There is only one way to God and to heaven and that is through his son Jesus Christ.

Will you call upon Jesus Christ today and ask him to forgive you and to come into your heart and save you?

Jesus will change your life and give you new life, hope, peace , a home in heaven and a new future
