Some of us tend to rationalize or minimize certain things we do because it doesn’t specifically addresses those things word for word in the Bible. For the next two days we will address some topics most people rationalize and minimize. We will see what the Bible has to say about these topics.

 

Cursing

People curse because in the Bible it does not have a list of curse words not to say. We all come from different countries and speak different languages and the Bible could not give a list for every curse word in the world. The Bible does say in Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. We can clearly see that the Bible tells us in general not to allow any unwholesome talk (cursing) come out of our mouths. If you still feel the need to curse after reading this ask yourselves this question: Do you think God will permit cursing in heaven?

 

Premarital Sex

Sex satisfies the flesh. Some people feel that you can’t have a relationship (before marriage) without sex. Most people know this but, in 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. When we have premarital sex, we sin against God and ourselves.

 

This is not designed to condemn those who are struggling with sin. This is designed to help perfect Holiness to God.

 

Be Blessed!
