1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 - Let’s Talk About Sex
Main Idea: Respect the holy purpose of your sexual behavior before God.
HUMAN SEXUALITY IS A GOOD GIFT FROM GOD
God created human sexuality for (marital) relational intimacy, joy, and procreation.
God views human sexuality as good, honorable, and something to be celebrated.
God commands married couples to pursue sexual intimacy with each other, with mutual respect and deference.
SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS A DESTRUCTIVE SIN THAT ROBS YOU AND OTHERS OF THE GOOD GIFT GOD INTENDED
Sexual immorality treats other humans as prostitutes, someone to be used sexually without an exclusive, lifelong commitment of fidelity and provision to them before God and all others.
Sexual immorality distorts God’s marital gift into something fickle, temporary, and boundary-crossing.
Sexual immorality rejects God’s authority over your life, takes advantage of either your spiritual sibling or a lost person, and invites God’s corrective judgment into your life.
