In the last fifty years, our culture has shunned biblical commands about sexual behavior, and the world has grown darker. Sadly, some professing Christians have joined the darkness:
Casual sex is defined as sex between people who have no established relationship.
God not only warns against casual sex, but He also raises the bar on sexual behavior because He is our creator and fully understands how we are made. Scripture warns us that any sex outside of heterosexual marriage is sinful and damaging to our souls.
Furthermore, sexual sins are in a class by themselves:
“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18
Genuine Christians trust and obey God's instructions because His commands are loving and healthy, and we prove our belief in Him and love for Him by obedience:
“In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.” 1 John 5:3-4
Let's never be ashamed to preach and teach about the damage of sexual sins, even if the whole world mocks and despises us!
