  5. C. Definition of Sexual Sin • A selfish, idolatrous desire to gratify self by engaging in thoughts, words, or actions of a sexual nature that God has forbidden

  6. D. Biblical View of Sex • Sex was created by God and is therefore pure and holy within marriage (Gen. 1:27, 31, 2:18, 21-23, Heb. 13:4) • Sex is not the basis for marriage, but it is a key element of marriage (1 Cor. 7:3-5) • The primary goal of the sexual relationship is giving – providing satisfaction for the spouse (1 Cor 7:3-5, Prov. 5:18)

  7. D. Biblical View of Sex • Each husband and wife has a God-given ability and duty to satisfy his or her spouse (1 Cor. 7:3-4) • God encourages the pleasure of sex in marriage, not just the procreative aspect (Prov. 5:18-19, Song. 4 & 7, 1 Cor. 7:3-4) • Sexual relations are to be regular and reciprocal (1 Cor. 7:5)

  8. E.

  9. E. Principles for Dealing with Sexual Sin • Deal with the lusts, lies, and idols of the heart (James 1:14-15, Rom. 1:18ff) • Replace sinful lust with a biblical view of love and sex • Study the character of God – especially His omnipresence and omniscience (Prov. 5:21) • Establish accountability relationships (Heb. 3:12-13, Prov. 27:17, Ecc. 4:9-10, James 5:16) • Be active in serving and ministering to others (Eph. 4:12-13) • Establish a specific plan for dealing with temptation
