Abstain from fleshly lusts.. (such as sexual immorality, etc). It’s a commandment of God. Don’t let the culture dictate what is acceptable. Let God’s Word be what you follow...as Jesus commanded, even if many around you don’t. The LORD requires purity... If you have failed, confess your sins at the throne of mercy, and true repentance means not going back to the sin! You can do all things through Christ... He requires holiness and it IS possible by following His Spirit and crucifying the flesh as He commanded.. That’s real faith. The Spirit helps us in our weakness. There may be a war in our soul at times, but if we follow the Spirit ( who helps us) we overcome! If you need prayer about this, you can ask me on “ask me anything” (and I will keep it private) or if I follow you, message me.
It’s important because the bible is clear that the sexual immoral or fornicators do not inherit the Kingdom of God-1 Corinthians 6: 9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God...”
