Immodest Dress

By Jady Stevens

Benchley, September 27, 2009

  • God’s law for marriage
  • “One flesh”
  • Breaking the law
    • Hebrews 13:4?- Fornication is sin because:
    • Matthew 5:28?- Looking ot lust is sin because:
      • It violates God’s marriage law.
    • Violation of a law is as old as the law itself.
  • Conclusion:
    • It is wrong to go outside the marriage relationship to gratify sexual desires.
  • But it’s MY body!
    • NO!
    • I Corinthians 6:16-20?- Your body is God’s.
      • Bought at a price!
    • I Corinthians 7:4?- Your body is your spouse’s.
    • Can I share my body with another without sinning as long as I don’t lust?
      • Harlotry
      • Modeling
      • Pornography
  • Immodest dress
    • Why should we not do it?? Because it is bad.
    • Because it entices others to sin.
  • Immodest dress violates the marriage relationship.
  • “From the beginning”
    • The Old Covenant did not change what sex is, our bodies, or lust.
    • Jesus’ death did not change these things either.
  • What should we protect?
