1. Sex is a God-given gift which is only protected and
enjoyed within the covenant of marriage where there is
commitment, love and trust between a man and woman.
2. No one has perfected the area of sexual purity – we all
stumble – we can choose it. Growing in purity is part of
the sanctification process.
3. Christ can and will forgive those who sin in this area.
Christ gives us a fresh start.
4. God instills a deeper desire for purity as we grow in our
faith and walk with Him.
5. Christ gives the power to overcome impurity, lust,
temptation.
6. The single Christian life is very fulfilling when lived out
for Christ and purity.
7. Living for Christ will result in a life of purity – a deeper
relationship with Him, deeper sense of dignity, love for
others, greater ability to serve and worship God.
8. When we fall into temptation – we have an advocate with
the Father – Jesus. John 2:1
9. Sex outside of marriage, pornography, etc. – only
destroys us and others.
10. Self-control to attain sexual purity is possible! You can
resolve to remain sexually pure through studying the
Word, daily surrender to Christ, accountability to others
and prayer. 1 Thes. 5:8 reads, “But since we belong to
the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and
love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a
helmet.”
