Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)
Sometimes the best choice is to run. It is in fact the first thing we normally do when in danger is it not? We run from a dog chasing us. We ran from our parents when they caught us doing wrong as a young child. Criminals run from the police. We run out of a burning building!
So why, when facing trouble in our moral choices, do we choose to stay and get into trouble? We are instructed to resist the devil and he will flee! (James 4:7) We are told to flee youthful lusts.(2 Timothy 2:22)
Maybe if we looked at sexual sin and our immoral fleshly lusts more as sin than as pleasure, then we would run! Perhaps we should simply agree with God and start to think differently.
