Sexual Purity – A Great Virtue

Bob Jennings | Article | Written on 10/5/1998 | Who can control this sex drive? The fear of disease is a small deterrent to immorality. There is only one force that can truly control lust—the power of God in the heart, a foundational element of what it means to become a Christian. That is, when Jesus enters the heart, the power and tyranny of sin is broken. True, godly men like David fell into sin, but the distinction is this—they did not live in it. Their lives were characterized by purity and victory before and after. You see a lustful man or woman? Do not be deceived. He is not a true Christian; he will not go to heaven (See 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10). The woman chaser will be cast into hell by God Himself.
