Honor God : Part 1 (You are not your own)

Sexual Immorality is a topic that most people feel awkward talking about. We live in world where we are constantly bombarded by promiscuous images which has desensitized us from our own sexual deviance. We live in a world where we proudly proclaim that our body is ours to do with what we wish. Despite what we may think of our bodies, or how we may take it for granted, the Lord considers it an incredible masterpiece. 1 Cor 6:12-20 explains the dangers of sexual immorality and why we must flee from it.

1. Command
   (a) Ownership - The moment you pronounce the Lord is savior, you belong to Him. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? (v15)
   (b) Union - The act of union between a man and a women is a a covenant with God to keep us from breaking away during our moments of weakness. By honoring your body you are honoring God, who in return will honor you.
2. Commitment - How do we commit?
   (1)Commit with purity of body - Will you honor God with your body?
   (2)Commit with purity of the mind - Where does your mind wander? Do you expose yourself to stuff that can taint your mind?
   (3)Commit with purity of action - You can not walk with God while living ins sexual immorality.
3. Consequences -If you wrap your life with the worldly sin, the Holy Spirit can not work the way He want to. You must break free and most importantly no one else can do this for you. For the Lord has given us freedom will. The Holy Spirit will never display His power in a vessel unfit for His presence.

You are more precious to the Lord than you'll ever imagine. To Lord your body is more precious than any treasure we can imagine. It is so precious that the Lord sacrafice his one and only son in order to save it. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.(v20)
