What is Immorality?

“For he who sows to his flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit
will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

Galatians 6:8
 

In The Whimsical Christian, author Dorothy Sayers writes, “Perhaps the bitterest commentary on the way in which Christian doctrine has been taught in the last few centuries is the fact that to the majority of the people the word immorality has come to mean one thing and one thing only (that is sexual immorality). A man may be greedy, selfish; spiteful, cruel, jealous and unjust; violent and brutal; grasping, unscrupulous, and a liar; stubborn and arrogant; stupid, morose, and dead to every noble instinct and still we are ready to say of him that he is not and immoral man. I am reminded of a young man who once said to me with perfect simplicity: “I did not know there were seven deadly sins; please tell me the names of the other six.”

Are we guilty of immorality? Seek the Lord today and ask Him to reveal to you areas of sin in your life that you have not recognized; confess them as sin; and then repent of these sins. God will cleanse, forgive, and restore!

Thought for the Day:
An immoral person is anyone who lives in and practices sin.
