And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting" (Romans 1:27-28). "Marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4). "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9,10). "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be even named among you, as is fitting for saints" (Ephesians 5:3). http://crossroads.ca/life-resources/topical/sexual-sins/immorality/what-scripture-says Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:32:03 -0500 http://crossroads.ca/life-resources/topical/sexual-sins/immorality/your-spiritual-health-is-affected Besides breaking God's laws, your disobedience will wreck your life and the lives of many others.

Just as you have allowed lust to control your flesh in the past, you must now yield to God as the Holy Spirit convicts you of your sin. God will forgive you and cleanse you physically, emotionally and spiritually as you call on Him in repentance and faith. He will save you from sin's consequences and put His nature within you (Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 John 1:8,9; Romans 10:13; John 1:12). http://crossroads.ca/life-resources/topical/sexual-sins/immorality/how-to-be-free Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:32:04 -0500 http://crossroads.ca/life-resources/topical/sexual-sins/immorality/as-you-pray Thank and praise God for forgiving, cleansing and strengthening you to stand fast in His liberty.
