TOPIC: FORNICATION

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 6:13-20

¹³Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹⁴And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

¹⁵Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

¹⁶Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

¹⁷But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

¹⁸Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

¹⁹Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

²⁰For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)

“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”

INTRODUCTION

According to the Advanced English Dictionary, fornication is voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other or extramarital sex that wilfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations.

However, in the New Testament, “fornication” which comes from the Greek word porneia, includes adultery and incest, (and from which we get our English word pornography).

Porneia comes from another Greek word that also includes indulging in any kind of unlawful lust, which would include homosexuality. Fornication is a grievous sin that attracts severe judgement from God (Romans 1:29, 32).

The Bible admonishes believers to “flee fornication” (1 Corinthians 6:18).

THE DANGERS OF FORNICATION
ANTIDOTES TO FORNICATION

1. THE DANGERS OF FORNICATION

The temptation to commit fornication may arise, but you do not have to fall for it (1 Corinthians 10:12-13) because or the attendant consequences – spiritually, morally, mentally, and healthwise (1 Corinthians 6:9, 18).

The dangers of fornication include the following:

1. It is the easiest way to contract Sexually Transmitted Diseases and can cut a life short (untimely death). A good example is Amnon who was Killed by Absalom two years after he fornicated with Tamar. (2 Samuel 13:28-32).

2. It brings quilt, regret, torment, and destroys destinies (Genesis 49:3-4).

3. It severs one’s relationship with God (1 Corinthians 10:8; Colossians 3:5-6).

4. God hates fornication because He designed the human body to be His temple where His Spirit will dwell and not for illegitimate sex (1 Corinthians 6:13b; Hebrews 13:4).

5. Fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Students should mention other dangers of fornication.

2. ANTIDOTES TO FORNICATION

The primary antidote to the sin of fornication is to run away from it (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Running away here means not having anything to do with it either in thoughts or the act itself (Matthew 5:28).

Joseph set a good example of fleeing from fornication in Genesis 39:7-12.

We need to constantly purge our minds from immoral thoughts and fix our hearts on pure things (Philippians 4:8).

Refuse to read or watch anything immoral – sexually explicit/ pornographic materials (Luke 11:34).

Feed your mind on the word of God (Psalm 119:9).

Take to your heels to avoid this destiny destroyer (1 Corinthians 10:8).

See a counsellor if need be and ask God to help you (Proverbs 11:14).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Students should discuss other practical ways to overcome fornication.
