Fundamentals of the Faith
Lesson 16 - Immorality
Leviticus 19:1-2
God’s people are called to be Holy
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2
“Speak to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You
shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am
holy.
Leviticus 19:1-2
Holy in all your conduct
but as He who called you is holy, you also be
holy in all your conduct,
1 Peter 1:15
A battle every person must win.
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a
man does is outside the body, but he who
commits sexual immorality sins against his
own body. 19 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?
A battle every person must win.
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

O Lord, I know the way of man is not in
himself; It is not in man who walks to direct
his own steps.

Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, So are My ways higher than your
ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9

God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

and gold.
Proverbs 22:1
Spiritual Consequences of Immorality.
Blessed is he whose transgression is
forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is
the man to whom the Lord does not impute
iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no
deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones grew
old Through my groaning all the day long. 4
For day and night Your hand was heavy
upon me; My vitality was turned into the
drought of summer.
Psalm 32:1-4
Lessons for us today.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2
Lessons for us today.
A man who isolates himself seeks his own
desire; He rages against all wise judgment.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart.
Proverbs 18:1-2
Conclusion
1. Those pleasing to God stand upon God’s
moral standards.
2. Let us teach others to do the same,
guiding them in God’s morals using His
Word.
Conclusion
Man needs to hear the gospel and not the
desires of his own heart.
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God. Romans 10:17
Conclusion
Man must not believe in his own selfish and
wicked ways, but in Christ as the Son of
God.
Therefore I said to you that you will die in
your sins; for if you do not believe that I am
He, you will die in your sins.” John 8:24
Conclusion
Man must repent of his sinful & wicked ways to
please God, man can never please the world.
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam
fell and killed them, do you think that they were
worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in
Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you
repent you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:4-5
Conclusion
When man confesses that Christ is the Son of
God, we also confess He is the only way to
Eternal life.
Nevertheless even among the rulers many
believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees
they did not confess Him, lest they should be
put out of the synagogue; John 12:42
Conclusion
The act of baptism is the only act that
washes away the spots that sins leaves on
man.
And now why are you waiting? Arise and be
baptized, and wash away your sins, calling
on the name of the Lord.’ Acts 22:16
Conclusion
We man continues in life as a faithful
servant of God. He guarantees himself that
he will see God.
Conclusion
Do not fear any of those things which you
are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is
about to throw some of you into prison, that
you may be tested, and you will have
tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
Revelation 2:10
