Sexual Sin forgiven

Here is more info on sexual sins and the importance of purity before marriage. We are not like those in the world, we are to be holy.

Just because you can be forgiven doesn’t mean you should commit sin. Premarital sex is a sin and is visibly stated in the Bible and warned against. 

If your aware that’s it’s a sin don’t do it because then you are going in to it knowing it is sin and rebelliously doing it anyway....and thats wicked; not living righteously and obediently. Believers live by the righteous nature not the sin nature. It is not that it is not a good thing to do, it is commanded just as being equally yoked is. Those who are righteous want to do what is right and do it. 

“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭

2 Timothy 2:22: "Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."

Jesus said “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15

If we follow Christ we obey God because he is God and has given us commands just as all of Scripture teaches us how to live righteously. We just do it. And we have the ability to because God gave us a new nature when he caused us to be born again when we got saved. So we have no excuse. 

Many are false converts pretending to be saved but not following Christ they still are unsaved sinners trapped in their sin nature because they love to sin and just do what they want to. 

1 John 1:8-9: "If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all sin."

James 4:17: "Whoever knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin."

Hebrews 10:26-27: "If we deliberately persist in sin after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover our sins. All that is left is a fearful expectation of God's judgment and the scorching fire of his wrath, which will consume those who have refused to obey him." 

Romans 6:1-2: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"

1 John 3:9: "No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God."

Romans 6:3-4:

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life

Romans 6:5-7:

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been freed from sin. 

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we [do this and that] in Your name? Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!”

If you are born again you live in the righteous nature and when tempted you flee from that sin. If you commit sin you war against it and conquer it victoriously. The last thing noted here does not give liscense to sin but tells you to avoid it so you dont create unnecessary problems for yourself. Be like Jesus when tested ir tempted by others or Satan... he obeyed God's Word and lived rightly. We are to pick up our cross and follow Jesus and daily become more and more like Him. We cannot do that if we go about sinning here and there willfully.
