Scripture 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7
The number one desire of any Christian today, no mater what age, should be to please God. God has set guidelines in the word for us to follow. As long as we follow them we will not go wrong. Sin is rampant and seems to be growing every day. One of the most obvious sins of society is fornication. In plain words, sex outside of marriage. According to verse 3, that is not the way it should be. That verse says that it is the will of God that we abstain from fornication, that we don't do it.
All you have to do is turn on the television and you will see that sex is being promoted as the answer to every problem. One of the mottos of today seems to be, if it feels good, do it. That's not right. There are many reasons why you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage. The main one being that it is a sin in God's eyes.
Verse 7 says, that God had not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. We are to strive everyday to be the best that we can be in a world that doesn't seem to care much about morals anymore. We are to dare to be different, because God, not the world, will ultimately judge our lives and the way that we live.
Don't go with the flow of the world
Stand up for what you believe.
Then someday when your life is over
A crown from the Lord you'll receive.
