THEME:
The Bible’s teachings on sexuality are not burdensome, but life-giving. They are meant to give you freedom and joy. When Satan comes around and tries to convince you that straying from the Bible is just fine because culture says it’s fine, don’t buy his lies. Don’t just focus on the “do’s” and “don’ts.” Take time to remember the why.
KEY SCRIPTURE:
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Any sexual activity that takes place outside of marriage is sin.
It’s not okay to sleep with someone other than your spouse.
Colossians 3:5
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.

Proverbs 5:15-16
Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
1 John 1:8-9
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Genesis 1:27, 31a
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them… And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good…
God’s perfect plan is for two genders, male and female, that complement each other.
Matthew 19:4-6
He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
God rejects transgenderism. Why? Because it disrupts his divine design for you, leading to confusion and chaos instead of fulfilling your true purpose.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
