Is physical intimacy outside of marriage a sin?
I believe it is; it’s called fornication.
When at least one is married it becomes adultery and it is still sin.
Telling a lie, blasphemy, lust, drunkenness, and many other common every day acts are also sin.
So can someone, which calls themselves a Christian, willfully sin over and over and receive forgiveness?
Let’s check our Bible for the answer.
Heb 10:26 says if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
This verse tells me that if you sin willfully you cannot get forgiveness; there is no longer a sacrifice for sins.
If there is no sacrifice for the sin then there is no forgiveness because without shedding of blood there is no remission. Heb 9:22
No sacrifice; no shedding of blood.
No shedding of blood; no remission.
No remission; no forgiveness of sin.
Suddenly someone is backed into a corner over willful sin.
What can be expected now?
A certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Heb 10:27
It goes on to say that those that sinned under the Mosaic Law were only put to death.
It will be far worse for those that have trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace. Heb 10:29
When someone thinks, “I can sin because the blood of Jesus has cleansed me from all unrighteousness” that person is calling the blood of Jesus a common thing to be used at their own discretion.
If the blood of Jesus has cleansed someone from all unrighteousness then whey do they continue to commit unrighteousness?
How wrong is that?
It is written, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Rom 6:1-2
We cannot; we must expunge sin out of our lives.
Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Cor 6:18-20
Next time I want to share with you a message I received from someone that was helped from this series.
Morning Thought with Pastor Tim 
For awhile after I surrendered to Christ I could hold my own with any worldly situation. I had a burning desire to Know Jesus better. The more revelation I got the less worldly I became. Now when I do or say a wrong thing I cry out for His forgiveness & power to resist doing it again. When I plan to handle a thing…when that moment comes He will take over, & His way is so much better than mine. It comes down to who we are going to please, self or God? He is my pleasure! I am honored by His love & care of me. I can truely say Christ has indeed shown Himself to be friendly with me. Nothing can compare to that joy!

i see so many people make sex one of the first thing they do when they meet someone new…..and it happens over and over as they search for a partner. I havent dated since divorcing…..somewhere out there must be someone willing to follow Gods plan in relationships…..i feel that sex is a bonus…something special in a marriage.
