God tries to get you as far away as possible from sin just as satan tries to get you "as close to the line as possible" to sin.
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Ephesians 5:3
You are free from the power of sexual sin but you are not free from the temptation of sexual sin.
The biggest reason we should run from sexual sin is because Jesus gave Himself up for it.
There is no such thing as safe sex just as there is no such thing as safe sin. Sin isn't safe and neither is sexual sin.
Sexual sin shouldn't be evident on social media. Are you filling your mind with garbage based on who/what you are following on Instagram/Twitter?
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;....7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:3,7-8
You will never go wrong when you make God's will for your life, your will.
When we ask, "how far is too far?", we ask "how close can I get to sin?". The point isn't to get as close as we can to sin but how far can we get from sin?
"The point isn't to get as close as you can & still avoid it - it's to stay far enough away from it to be completely separated from it."
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18
Don't stay and expect to fight off sexual temptation, just RUN.
Do we invite temptation into our lives or do we avoid it? Do we put ourselves into situations that invite sin in? Group date, never be alone, add software to your phone and computer, sleep with your doors open, don't go to bed with your phone.
