Avoid the Consequences

Day 1- HURTS YOU AND OTHERS

God is not talking about someone who messed up or who was impure for a little while. He is talking about people who promote that sexual immorality is the right thing to do.
Read 1 John 2:15. If you love God can you love the world?
Sin has the snowball effect, and if you are not careful, it can become who you are. Why would you want to dabble in something that could keep you away from God for eternity?
How can a physical relationship hurt you?
Do you believe a physical relationship outside or marriage can do damage?

Day 2- AVOID THE JUNK

Read John 8:34
The person who commits sin becomes what?
Read Romans 6:18
What should you be slaves to?
Living a life right with God is freedom from sin. Living for your sin will cause heavy burdens. Sin is a heavy pile of junk and it has a pattern of getting heavier. God will allow you to choose sin, but you will suffer the consequences.
Read Romans 1:24-25
What did the people choose to do?
How is physical sin worshiping others or yourself instead of God?
Those who choose sin exchange the truth of God for what?
Are you willing to exchange the truth of God to feel good for one moment?
Are you willing to deal with the guilt and shame that comes with a physical relationship?
Are you ready for your heart to be broken?

Day 3- THERE IS A WAY OUT

Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
What does God always give you?
Remember, God says that He will not leave you or forsake you. He will give you a way out. From what you have learned so far about living a pure life, what are ways God can give you a way out when you are tempted to be physical in a relationship?

Day 4- THERE IS ALWAYS FORGIVENESS

Read and soak up God’s promises to forgive you… no matter what.
1 John 1:9, Acts 3:19, Isaiah 1:18 Colossians 1:14-15, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Revelation 21:4-5
God loves you so much that no matter how filthy you feel, how ashamed you are, He will forgive you, restore you, give you purity, and make you new.
Do you believe that God can forgive you?

Day 5- LUST IS NOT LOVE

Read these verses and write down the danger of lust:
Matthew 5:28, 1 John 2:16, Ephesians 4:19
