Sexual Purity
Marriage is more than just a piece of
paper; it is an institution which has
been created by God.
Sexual Purity
God has provided the institution of
marriage to protect us from
temptation and harm.
Sexual Purity
God created sex to be a beautiful
experience between a man and a
woman in the protection and confines
of a healthy marriage.
Sexual Purity
Through this union we experience
intimacy rather than lust and joy free
from guilt and the temptation of sin.
Sexual Purity
If you are married God has entrusted
you with someone who is very
precious to Him.
Sexual Purity
Let marriage be held in honor among
all, and let the marriage bed be
undefiled, for God will judge the
sexually immoral and adulterous.
Hebrews 13:4 ESV
Conviction
A fixed or firm belief;
the act of moving a person by argument or
evidence to belief, agreement, consent, or
course of action.

must first give up sinning and clean
yourself up.
