The Script:
In today's world, the concept of fornication has become distorted, misunderstood, and even glorified. But what does it truly mean according to the teachings of Scripture?
According to the Webster 1828 dictionary, fornication is defined as "the incontinence or lewdness of unmarried persons, male or female; also, the criminal conversation of a married man with an unmarried woman."
1 Corinthians 6:18 New King James Version. "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Hebrews 13:4 New King James Version. "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
Galatians 5:19-21 New King James Version. "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
The Bible speaks clearly about the sin of fornication. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, it admonishes believers to flee from sexual immorality. Hebrews 13:4 emphasizes the sanctity of marriage and warns against defiling it through fornication. And in Galatians 5:19, fornication is listed among the works of the flesh, contrasting it with the fruits of the Spirit.
The consequences of fornication are not only spiritual but also emotional and physical. It can lead to broken relationships, guilt, and even sexually transmitted diseases.
But there is hope. Through repentance and turning to God, one can find forgiveness and restoration.
Let us remember the seriousness of fornication and strive to live according to God's will.
