Moral faithfulness.

"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:"

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

If you are a single person reading this devotion today, let faithfulness be one of the virtues you look out for before choosing a spouse. Is he or she a faithful person morally, financially, etc.? These things are important so do not overlook them. You are marrying the person; which includes his or her character.

Any friend who says he wants to marry you and he is sleeping around today because you have refused to compromise your faith and chastity as a Christian, such a person cannot be trusted to be faithful after he is married. If you do not train yourself to be faithful and chaste now as a single, you will be vulnerable to temptations after you get married.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 says, "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Prayer.

Dear Father, I present my body to you as a living sacrifice, pure and holy as my reasonable service in Jesus Name. Amen.
