1Corinthians 6:15
15 Do you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the member of Christ and make
them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
The
apostle Paul addressed the church of Corinth as some members of the
church continued to visit prostitutes after they had given their lives
to Christ. Paul goes on to say that anyone who has sex with a prostitute
becomes one with them in spirit because the word says "and the two
shall become one flesh."
God brought something to my
attention yesterday. There is no difference between the female or male
on the street who prostitutes and the ones who deliberately seek out
those with money or any other attribute they hope to gain with sex other
than that one is considered "high class". Can God redeem anything? He
certainly can! But if the motive is anything other than love which is to
be the foundation, then it is an unholy unification and subject to
turmoil. The word says in 1John 4:8 that if you do not know love then
you do not know God because God is love. God is to be the foundation of a
union. Love is to be the foundation of a union. Love is a motivation
and is to be the ultimate motivation. Not money, status, or anything
else. Love is to be the reason not lust or greed. We become what we
unite with. Be careful of any unholy unification. God cannot ordain what
is unholy without repentance, hence our savior Jesus Christ. Repentance
requires acknowledgement of the sin. If one does not believe what they
are doing is incorrect or just decides that though it is wrong want to
continue in it then they will not repent and God cannot redeem. The only
blessing required is the one from God. If God is not in it, simply put,
it is not blessed.
