God Did Not Call You to Be Impure
The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 4:7 that God did not call us to be impure. But what? To live a holy life. That’s a spiritual demand on each child of God’s life, including you.

Because it’s written clearly in scripture that the world lies in wickedness (see 1 John 5:19), I can assure you that things won’t get better with immorality. It will get worse. So don’t look to the world for hope! Anchor your faith in Christ!
The Bible says wives must be submissive to their own husbands. And that command has no conditions attached to it. In this case, whether your husband is good or bad, once you are a Christian wife to him, you must submit to him. That is simple!
Since the Canaan got cursed by Noah way back in Genesis 10, all his descendants formed part of the curse. God, who knew Jesus would come through a woman, chose to forbid the Israelites from marrying any Canaanite descendant all throughout the Old Testament because He wanted to preserve the holy Seed of Christ flowing through Abraham’s family line, especially Judah.
If you want to earn the trust of people you work for or in a specific relationship with, don’t make lying your hallmark. Don’t ever lie about something you did for the sake of escaping punishment. Truth sets free; lies soil your integrity.

As a child of God, know that the Holy Spirit is inside you. Your body is His temple (see 1 Corinthians 6:19). That means, with His help, you can devise ways and means to control your body in sanctification (consecration or purity of your heart and life) and honour (value).

When Jesus said we should get rid of any body part that causes us to sin, He was cautioning us to take precautions to control ourselves from getting involved in evil deeds, not necessary doing surgery to cut them out. Sustain your godly integrity with divine wisdom.
One time, a man came to Jesus and told him to divide an inheritance with his brother. Jesus could have done it. But he said, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” (Luke 12:14). So Jesus, with all His authority and popularity, still had boundaries in His mind concerning where He must exercise His spiritual sovereignty. God sent Him to die and take away the sin of the world (John 1:29), not to settle family disputes. What about you? Do you know your specific calling?
Understanding why God has given you a body for the Holy Spirit to dwell in and becoming conscious of it is an even more powerful way to flee from sexual immorality. Why? Because you’ll learn how to control your body and use it purposefully.
