I.  Your morality can only please God when it flows from a faith relationship with Jesus Christ.  (1 Cor. 6:15, 17)

     A.  You cannot please God without faith.  (Heb. 11:6)

     B.  Your best works fall far short of God's standard of perfection.  (Isa. 64:6)

     C.  You sin can only be forgiven through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  (1 Cor. 15:17; Eph. 2:8-9)

     D.  Faith in Christ places you into His body, the church.  (1 Cor. 1:30)

     E.  Your faith in Christ is the basis for truly moral living.  (1 Cor. 1:30)

II.  Your unity with God must not be compromised.  (1 Cor. 6:15-17)

     A.  Immorality takes what is God's and unites it to one who is acting in opposition to God.

     B.  Immorality is a great offense to God, to self, to the sinning partner, and to the church.

III.  Your response to temptation is to be flight.  (1 Cor. 6:18a)

IV.  Your responsibility in life is to glorify God with your body.  (1 Cor. 6:18b-20)
