Living as Citizens of the Kingdom of God, Part 2

How can we remain unstained in the midst of an increasingly sinful and godless culture? The answer is to seek God’s sobering perspective on immorality. The Scriptures pull no punches with regard to dangerous sensual sins. They are deadly and not even to be named among us, and those who practice such things are marked for destruction. To escape their downward pull, we must draw clear lines that keep us far from immoral entertainments. We must guard ourselves against beguiling lies that lull us into believing that immorality hurts no one, that fleshly desires cannot be overcome, or that God’s grace allows us to sin with impunity. Don’t be deceived by such empty words! Flee from sin, and listen carefully to those who bring God’s Word to you out of concern for your soul. Are you practicing immorality? Confess it to God, repent, and align yourself with His wise commands. You’ve been called to live as a light in a sin-darkened world. Demonstrate your love for Christ and walk in that light before God and men.
