1Cor6

Run from sexual immorality! Every sin a person can commit is outside the body. On the contrary, the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Don't you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body. (18-20)

These are powerful verses! Paul is appealing to the Corinthians to let the Spirit, not their foolish desires, control their lives. They had been "formerly" all kinds of bad. Now, through Jesus, they were a new creation. Paul assured them that a continued life of sin, was evidence that they actually weren't "in Christ".

Look at the list; sexually immorality, idolaters, adulterers, practicing homosexuals, thieves, greedy, drunkards, verbally abusive, and swindling. If any in this list describe you, consider the reality of your faith. Since all of us struggle with sin, we should all be humbled by the reality of grace. Don't let sin define your life. Let it be the victory that Jesus died for us to have.

Live by His Spirit today. Confess and forsake your sin.
