    What Do I Do If I Have Committed Sexual Sin?Anchored in the Word with Dave JenkinsIn this episode, Dave Jenkins addresses what the Bible says about sexual sin, the call to repentance, the assurance of God’s forgiveness, and practical steps to walk in holiness. A biblically grounded message of hope and restoration for anyone struggling with this issue.For biblical guidance on repentance, see Repentance.You can also explore more episodes from Anchored in the Word.Listen to the AudioWatch the VideoUnderstanding Sexual Sin in the BibleFirst, we need to recognize that sexual sin is a serious issue in Scripture. From the very beginning of God’s creation, sexuality has been designed to be a gift, meant to be expressed within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. The Bible is clear that anything outside of this—whether it's adultery, fornication, pornography, or lust—is sin.1 Corinthians 6:18-20 — "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians is clear: sexual sin is different because it involves our own bodies. When we sin sexually, we are sinning against the very body that is meant to glorify God. We’re also reminded in this passage that our bodies belong to God. The idea of ‘my body, my choice’ is utterly contradicted by the truth that we have been bought with a price—the precious blood of Jesus Christ.The Call to RepentanceSo, what do you do if you’ve committed sexual sin? The first and most important step is repentance. Repentance is not just feeling bad about what you’ve done, but turning away from sin and turning back to God.1 John 1:9 — "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."God is faithful and just to forgive when we come to Him with a repentant heart. The first step in restoration is to acknowledge your sin before God. There is no sin too great that it cannot be forgiven by the blood of Christ. When you confess your sin, you are agreeing with God about what you’ve done and expressing your desire to turn away from it.Repentance also involves a change of heart—a desire to forsake sin and pursue holiness. True repentance is not just about asking for forgiveness but about actively seeking to turn from the sin and live in obedience to God. In Matthew 5:29-30, Jesus warns that if something causes us to stumble, we should take radical steps to remove it from our lives.Matthew 5:29-30 — "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away."This is a strong and radical teaching from Jesus. He’s calling us to take drastic measures in removing the sin that entangles us. If your sin is tied to something in your life, whether it’s a relationship, a habit, or even access to certain media, you need to be willing to make changes. Repentance means doing whatever it takes to flee from temptation and sin.The Assurance of Forgiveness and God’s GraceNow, after we’ve repented, it’s crucial to know that forgiveness is certain. If you’ve truly confessed and turned from your sin, God promises to forgive you.Psalm 103:12 — "As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us."God’s forgiveness is complete. When He forgives us, He removes our sins completely, never to be held against us again. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). So, if you’ve repented, you can rest in the assurance that God has forgiven you. Don’t allow the enemy to bring condemnation into your heart.

  • You Are Not Your Own: Honoring God with Your Body
    2025/06/12
    You Are Not Your Own: What Scripture Says About Our Bodies with Dave JenkinsFrom Genesis to the New Testament, Scripture affirms that our bodies are not our own—they were created by God, redeemed by Christ, and are to be used for His glory. Dave unpacks the doctrines of creation and redemption, challenges the lie of autonomy, and provides practical wisdom for living in a way that honors the Lord with our physical bodies.This message is a biblical and theological call to surrender, holiness, and worship in a world obsessed with self.▶️ Audio Player🎥 Video Player🔗 Calls to Action🎧 Listen to more episodes of Anchored in the Word:https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-word/❓ Submit your question for a future episode:https://servantsofgrace.org/contact-4/📖 Learn more: 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 on Bible Gateway📖 Read the Full Article BelowYou Are Not Your Own: Honoring God with Your BodyIn today’s culture, the phrase “My body, my choice” is a rallying cry used to defend personal autonomy, particularly in matters of sexuality, identity, and abortion. This mantra elevates self-rule and bodily sovereignty as the highest goods. But does this worldview align with the teaching of Scripture? As Christians, we must ask not what the culture affirms, but what God has revealed.What Does the Bible Say About Our Bodies?From the very beginning of Scripture, we are taught that our bodies are not our own. Genesis 1:26–27 tells us that God created humanity in His image—male and female. That means our bodies are not accidental or meaningless. They were designed with intentionality to reflect God’s glory.Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, “You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” This powerful statement reframes the human body not as a personal possession, but as a temple of the Holy Spirit—purchased by the blood of Christ. We are stewards, not owners.Romans 12:1 reinforces this truth: “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Christian worship includes not just what we believe or sing but how we live and use our bodies daily.Theological Foundations: Creation and RedemptionAt the core of bodily autonomy is the question of ownership. Scripture provides two clear answers: God owns our bodies by right of creation and by right of redemption.Psalm 139:13–16 tells us that God formed us in the womb. Our existence is not self-determined; it is God-ordained. To claim total control over our own bodies is to reject God’s intimate role as Creator.But not only did God make us, He also redeemed us. Through Jesus’ sacrificial death and bodily resurrection, we are redeemed—body and soul. As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 6:13, “The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.”In a biblical worldview, bodily autonomy is not ultimate. Surrender to God is.Practical Implications for Christian LivingSelf-ControlGalatians 5:16–17 calls believers to “walk by the Spirit” and not gratify the desires of the flesh. A culture that chants, “My body, my choice” often promotes indulgence and self-will. Scripture calls for self-control and Spirit-empowered discipline.Sanctity of LifeThe slogan “my body, my choice” is often used to justify abortion. But Psalm 139 affirms that life begins in the womb and is God’s handiwork. We are not the authors of life, and we have no right to end what God has begun.Serving Others1 Corinthians 6 reminds us that glorifying God in our bodies means rejecting self-centered living. Christians are called to use their bodies in service to others—to love our neighbors, build up the church, and reflect Christ’s humility.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)What does the Bible say about bodily autonomy?The Bible teaches that our bodies are not our own. We were created in God's image (Genesis 1:26–27), redeemed by Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and are to glorify God in body and soul.
