The purpose of this article: Speaking to men-unborn!

M ost of the Christians I know think they are saved because they are not committing sexual immorality. Sex is a natural part of our human biology, and I am surprised to see the way the church isolated it and deal with it the way we do. It is God that makes sex and endow us with the gift of procreation. In our eagerness to show our fellow men our piousness, we pretended that we are above committing the sex act, or sex sin. No other sin seems to bother Christians like the sex sin. All of us pretended that we do not take a piece of the apple, until time catch up with us, and we cannot hide anymore and we stop going to church. The Church has never dealt with sex issue correctly and because of this, we are losing many of our young people. They get saved and hold out for two years and then the sex drives get the better of them and they leave the church and went back. Because the church told them that sex is all wrong and so wrong.

But the Lord wants people to follow him with their defect, until he walks them out of their defects. You need to understand that your sex urges was not invented on by Satan, if it was up to Satan you and I would have never produced children. You cannot lose salvation or the favor of God, because of sexual intercourse between a woman and a man, the same way how you cannot go to hell for eating three regular meals per day, or going to the toilet, are trying defended yourself if somebody is trying to poke out your eyes. Sex is one of your senses. God wants you to challenge it properly, he does not want you to go to bed with your father’s wife, ect. The scripture told us how far to go with our feelings, but cannot prevent us from exercises the same feelings which we were in-gifted with.

1 Cor. 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

Lev 18:8-10 (NKJV) The nakedness of your father's wife you shall not uncover; it is your father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. The nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness

How Does The Sex Urges Comes About?

A man produces about seventy-five percents testosterone and about twenty-five percents estrogen. While a woman produces about seventy-five percents estrogen and about twenty-five percents testosterone. This is my view; and way of explaining it. Whenever this mixture is present in a man’s body, his sex urges comes on whether he ask it to or not. The healthier a person body’s is, is the more forceful and powerful this comes on. This has nothing to do with being wicked, nasty, and sinful. If you use your sex urges, and sexual activities as a measuring tool to know how righteous you have become, and if you are going to heaven, the laugh is on you. This means you do not understand the basic of salvation, such as; how one is saved, keep safe, and what is sin.

Jer 9:23-24 (NKJV)Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the Lord.

Bad Opinion That The Christians Life Is Not Hard Enough:

We Christians are of the opinion that the Christians life is not hard enough, so we keep padding on unnecessarily things on it, to earn our salvation: If you and I think that not having sex is the evidence of salvation, or how we know that we are saved, the laugh is on us, because everyone of us have sex, regardless of how we talk. I played close attention to mouth talking boastful Christians for more than sixty years, and saw that it did not worked out like how they talked.

Some People Cannot Contain

1 Cor. 7:8-9 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. [9] But if they (((cannot contain, let))) them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

2 Cor. 12:7-9 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. [8] For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. [9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Every preacher tries to come up with his or her own version of what was Paul’s thorn in the flesh. I am not trying to say what his thorn was. All I am trying to point out, is this: Even the Apostle Paul had something that he could not get over. He gets over on a spiritual sense by the grace of Christ.

It is the same thing with a believer that cannot contain, or have self-control, he or she have to get over by the grace of God and Christ.

Your Eternal Salvation Is Not Determined By Your Sexual Activities.

Feel free to read what you want into my article: The time you accept Jesus as your lord, he banked salvation upon your eternal account. Imputed righteousness and holiness: You are justified freely by his grace. This imputed holiness is what’s going to take us home to glory. I call this the bounce proof of salvation.

Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Practical And Progressive.

This is our daily walk and daily profession of faith. This is what we do, we must perfect our walk from day to day, but this is progressive, and evens this we still have to receive help from the spirit of God

. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Zech 4:6-7 (NKJV) So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts. 7 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "

Our Body Was Not Saved At The Time Of Our Conversion

Philip. 3:20-21 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

The work of redemption was not done in our body, as some think. The work of redemption is done in our spirit man. The same place in our spirit where we feel envy, jealousy, hate, resentment and grudges. In addition, love, joy and peace. This is the place where the work of redemption has taken place and unshackled us. It is not in our body. If your appetites were big before you were converted to Christianity, you appetites will still be big. If you love women before you were converted, you will love them even more now on a different level. Christ body was glorified after his death and resurrection; we will receive a glorified body at Christ coming. Until that happened, we have to tame our vile body, and bring it into subjection, not to get salvation, but to prevent it from bringing us to shame among those whom we serve. If you listen to how some Christian’s talks, you would think they were not living in a body, until you saw their body disgraced them, and they became humble and stop the boasting.

Our Bodies Are Still Waiting For Redemption.

 Romans 8:22-24 (NKJV) For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees.

God Will Perfect You In His Own Time.

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

(1) Make you perfect, (2) establish, (3) strengthen, (4) and settle you. All this is going to be done in your life after you are converted, but they are going to be done by God, after you passed through your season of suffering. To prevent you start to boasting, you must go through defeats first.
