What does Jesus think about sex?

Matthew 5:27-30 “You have heard that it was said,

‘Never commit adultery.’ But I can guarantee that

whoever looks with lust at a

woman has already committed adultery in his heart. So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It

is better for you to lose a part of your body than to have all of it thrown into hell. And if your right hand

leads you to sin, cut it off

and throw it away. It is better for you to lose a

part of your body than to have all of it go into hell.”

Adultery is the “act of being unfaithful to one’s wife or

husband by voluntarily having sexual intercourse

with someone else.” (Oxford Dictionary)

Jesus takes that a step further and taught that

adultery could also be a sin of the mind.

He interpreted the 7th command, “you shall not

commit adultery” in the light of the 10th command, “Do not covet your neighbor’s

wife.”

What does God think about sex?

He invented it for the pleasure of men and

women.

How did God intend it to be used?

Genesis 2:24-25 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother

and be united to his wife, and they will

become one flesh. The man and his wife were

both naked, and they felt no shame.”

To use God’s gift outside the context of marriage

is to violate the operating instructions in

the owner’s manual.

Jesus couldn’t be more contemporary than He is in these verses.

Recent studies say that there are more people looking at

porn on the web at any moment than the numbers that

are on Amazon, Twitter and Netflix combined.

Satan is always in the business of taking something

good of God’s and perverting it into something bad that will

destroy us.

2 thoughts for us today:

1) Don’t put yourself in harm’s way.

2) Invest yourself in your marriage now.

“Become Best Friends”

Satisfy each other in marriage.

We live in a river of filth.

The world thinks there should be no restraints. Anything

goes

Jesus doesn’t.

Who are you going to think like?

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 “It is God's will that you should be

sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to

control his own body in a way that is holy and

honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do

not know God; and that in this matter no

one should wrong his brother or take advantage of

him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and

warned you. For

God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy

life.”

Satan desires to destroy our families.

1. If you are guilty know that you can be forgiven-if you repent. And the Spirit will

enable you to come out of your sin.

2. If you are headed down the wrong road then the Lord has issued you a personal warning today to remove yourself from

harm’s way.

3. The Lord is calling on every married couple here today to give themselves 100% to one

another.
