Remember your purpose. When God sent His Son to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin and to free us from its power, He never intended for us to continue to sin. It would be unthinkable to tear down a condemned house, lay a solid foundation, and then build a house that looks good on one side but resembles a shack on the other. So too, it is illogical for a follower of Christ to use his life for both pure and impure purposes. From these verses we can come up with four helpful reminders.
Sin weighs down, so throw it off.
Sin ensnares, so watch out for its traps. Jesus is your example, so follow Him. We are now called to be God's representatives in this world and to bring others to faith in Christ. Although we must live among nonbelievers, we must not adopt the world's view of life and sexuality. Above all else, the purpose of our salvation is for us to know God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
