Sexual intercourse is more than just procreating.
There are emotional feelings and physical pleasure associated with
the relationship that goes far beyond the woman's ability to get
pregnant. Physical and emotional intimacy is God's gift to a man and
woman, but then the Devil introduced sexual immorality to corrupt
mankind and God had to intervene with worldwide flood. It didn't
take long for the depravity to spread again and the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah were destroyed.
In order to halt the corruption, God introduced a code of conduct
that allowed mankind to identify and reject sexual iniquity. The
Lord doesn't want humanity to engage in incest, adultery,
homosexuality, bestiality and other debauchery. When people sexually
defile themselves, the land also becomes defiled and there is a
curse upon the people.
The people of Israel were commanded to obey these statues 4,000
years ago and Jesus also expects His disciples to follow the sexual
code given to Moses. As the world continues to sink into a cesspool
of immorality, Christians must be salt and light and take a stand
for righteousness. |
