Sexual Holiness in a Sexualized World

Описание: This episode teaches that sexual holiness must be defined by what God has revealed in Scripture rather than by shifting cultural standards. It outlines God’s design for sexuality as covenantal and exclusive to marriage between one man and one woman in a lifelong union (Genesis 1–2), affirmed by Jesus (Matthew 19), and warns that sexual immorality—understood broadly as any sexual activity outside biblical marriage, including fornication, adultery, homosexual behavior, pornography, and lustful conduct—is treated seriously in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 6; Galatians 5; Hebrews 13). The lesson emphasizes that sexual sin is uniquely damaging because it involves sin against one’s own body, which belongs to God and is the temple of the Holy Spirit, rejecting the idea that physical behavior is spiritually neutral. It addresses common attempts to weaken biblical ethics ("God wants me happy," "love is love," "Jesus never addressed this," and misunderstanding grace), arguing that God’s will is sanctification and that grace teaches denial of ungodliness (1 Thessalonians 4; John 14; Titus 2; Romans 6). The episode also highlights gospel hope and restoration, noting that past sin can be washed and forgiven (1 Corinthians 6:11), while the church must uphold truth without redefining sin and extend forgiveness to the repentant without prejudice. It concludes that holiness is a witness, that faithful marriages reflect Christ and the church (Romans 12; Ephesians 5), and that there is no shame in following God’s call to honor Him with our bodies.
