It's God's Work Not Yours

sPaul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6: 11, that such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
Some of us have been and done many things. Notice the word "but" you were washed, sanctified, justified in His Name. God alone can remove all of the many sinful things that we have done.
Paul emphasizes God's action in making believers new people. The three aspects of God's work are all part of our salvation. Our sins were washed away, we were set apart for special use ("sanctified"), and we were pronounced not guilty ("justified") for our sins.

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.

Characteristics of Unbelievers

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6: 9-11).

Paul describes what unbelievers are like in 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11. He doesn't mean that fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes (effeminate), homosexuals, thieves, greedy people (covetous), drunkards, revilers, or swindlers are automatically and totally excluded from heaven. Believers come out of all kinds of different backgrounds, including these. They may still struggle with evil desires, but they should not continue in these practices. Paul makes it clear that even those who sin in these ways can have their lives changed by Christ. but those who say that they are Christians but continue in these practices with no sign of remorse will not inherit the kingdom of God. Such people need to reevaluate their lives to see if they truly believe in Christ.
In today's society it is easy for Christians to overlook or tolerate some immoral behaviors (drunkenness, greed, etc.) while remaining outraged at others (thievery, homosexuality). We must not participate in sin or condone it in any way, nor may we be selective about what we condemn or excuse. Staying away from more "acceptable" forms of sin is difficult, but it is no harder for us than it was for the Corinthians. God expects his followers in any age to have high standards.
Paul emphasizes God's action in making believers new people. The three aspects of God's work are all part of our salvation: Our sins were washed away, we were set apart for special use ("sanctified"), and we were pronounced not guilty (justified") for our sins.

The Bible Was Written For Our Instruction

Paul, tells us in Romans 15:4 for whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

The knowledge of the Scriptures affects our attitude toward the present and the future. The more we know about what God has done in years past, the greater the confidence we have about what he will do in the days ahead. We should read our Bibles diligently to increase our trust that God's will is best for us.
