Bible Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-5
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication” (1Thessalonians 4:3).
Despite the attendant shame, sorrow, disgrace that fornication brings to those who indulge in it, some youths still engage in this heinous sin. Celebrities of note, kings, pauper, prince and professors have become objects of ridicule as a result of fornication. Fornication has brought many people from all societal strata to degradation and disrepute; from fame to folly and from honour to dishonour.
Believers must abstain from all appearances of evil. Fornication is evil. It is a deadly poison. Do not meddle with immorality. Abandon anything that has the tendency to inflame the sinful passion in you as a holy Christian. Amorous discussion, romantic literature, comics, poster, and video must be avoided like leprosy. As you flee from fornication, you must be daring and resolute to resist it, no matter the person who is making the attempt to defile you to avoid being consumed. Sinful body contact with the opposite gender is anathema. Never permit defiling behaviours like, patting, caressing, hugging, and kissing because they are booby traps. They are the crucible where fornication is bred. Avoid them like plagues.
