Sanctification, Where Is Our Sexual Standards?

For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality (1 Thessalonians 4: 3).

Sanctification, being made holy, is the process of living the Christian life. The Holy spirit works in us, conforming us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).

During the Romans empire sexual standards were very low, and in many societies today they are not any higher, maybe lower. the temptation to engage in sexual intercourse outside the marriage relationship has always been powerful. Giving in to that temptation can have disastrous results. Sexual sins always hurt someone; families, individuals, businesses, churches.

Besides the physical consequences, there are also spiritual consequences.
Sexual desires and activities must be placed under Christ's control. God created sex for procreation and pleasure, and as an expression of love between a husband and wife. Sexual experience must be limited to the marriage relationship to avoid hurting ourselves, our relationship to God, and our relationships with others.
For more on why sexual sin is so harmful, read 1 Corinthians 6: 18.
