THE DEATH IN SEX
THE DEATH IN SEX
In this study, we will be going through how sexual sin destroys the body given to us by God to house our spiritual form.
The body is what we need to be alive in this realm, once the body is destroyed, we seize to exist in this physical realm. So we can say we are given the body to sustain our existence on earth (the physical realm). The devil has successfully introduced a lot of things (few of them being sexual sins) to degrade or destroy this body so as to make men die quickly without repentance knowing that whoever dies in sin shall by no means enter into the kingdom of God.
"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another."
Romans 1:21, 24 NIV
From the passage above, we saw that sexual sin degrades the body. The AMP version says 'abandoning their body to the degrading power of sin'. 'To degrade' means 'to reduce something in quality or purity', it means to breakdown or to wear out. So we can infer that sexual sin weakens and breaks down the body detrimentally, it does that by wearing out the body quickly or inflicting the body with sickness and diseases. It makes the body close to death quickly.
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18 NIV
Fornication is a sin against the body because the repercussion of such sin is upon the body itself, it degrades, destroys and eventually kills the body. It is a sin against the body because the body which is the temple of God is defiled leading to its depletion little by little until the whole body get noticeably weak and worn out by sickness and diseases, then death sets in. Sex, when done honorably in marriage doesn't degrades the body because couples have become one in the flesh, so every physical copulation is obeying the law of fruitiness and recognised in heaven as being right since they have become a body. But when sex is done outside marriage, then such that practise it have become slaves to the degrading power of sin.
"Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted." Psalms 107:17 KJV
Affliction always arises when sexual sin has its way. Many sickness and diseases prevalent in this age crept in through sexual sin, it opens the door for affliction, but the Holy spirit gives life.
"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." Romans 8:11 KJV
Sexual sin destroys the body but as many that have repented and genuinely transform, filled with the Holy spirit, the scripture says the Spirit of God quickens our mortal bodies i.e. revives or restores life unto our mortal bodies. No wonder the bible says we are not under the law of sin and death but under the law of the spirit of life (ROM. 8:2). The pleasure from sexual sin destroys the body but the pleasure that comes from the communion with the Holy spirit revives and restores life unto the body. EAre you struggling with formication or other sexual sins, why not come out of your hiding place and submit yourself to Jesus, why not give your life unto Him and He will fill you with the SPIRIT OF LIFE and let the Holy spirit quicken your body and restore life unto it.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 KJV
