(1 Corinthians 6:17).
Sex sin defiles your body and damages its ability to fulfill God’s purposes. Sex sin is unique in that we commit it against our own bodies Our bodies function as temples of God’s Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:12-20).
When we use our body for sex sin, we dishonor our body and defile God’s temple. We’re also defiling the people that we are sinning with. Our lack of respect for the body (and for God) damages our relationship with God.
Sex sin grieves God’s Spirit. Any sin we practice will grieve God’s Spirit (Ephesians 4:31). It puts out the “fire” of the Holy Spirit in our life (1 Thessalonians 5:19).
The more we quench God’s Spirit, the less we will be inclined to live a changed life in righteousness.
