The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

The Written Word of God Forbids "Orgies": Repent and Believe the Gospel

The Christian life should not involve orgies.  That is, it is when people openly engage in sexual activity.  Sexual activity is only for the marriage bed left undefiled between a man and a woman alone.  The work of the flesh or the sinful nature is a work of orgies.  I have seen Christians practicing this behavior as they profess Christ. 

I have seen them advance in life and ministry because of their promiscuity.  I am not saying it is the unforgivable sin; however, I am saying the standards of the morality of people has fallen into defilement.  It is the ungodly teaching of Balaam that people advance through wrongdoing.  If you have to do something evil to get something good, Paul's says your condemnation is just in Romans 3.  If you have engaged in orgies to advance yourself in life and compromised your morals, remember to rethink your life and mediate on Jesus.  Think like Jesus, speak like Jesus and do deeds like Jesus.  That is, it simply means do what is right.  God will bless you if you do what is right more than if you do what is wrong.  It is also true that all things are ordained for our good. 

We ought to remember: sin is not the means of the approval of God or His people.  Rather righteous living is what God blesses.  Dreams should not be granted because of sexual evil, but rather the upright living of God's elect.  I mention this because I think it is a real problem in today's culture.   It might not be a problem for some people but I feel it has come into the sacred place of the local church.  All it takes is obedience to the commandments of Christ and repentance in Jesus' name.  It should not be practiced to sin just to easily repent again because the God-man who died for you is trodden under foot!  Think more highly of your Savior next time you willfully sin!  I suggest to you that this is the sacred problem of the Gospel: Jesus was given all the spiritual sin while we get His free grace, but He is willing to be forgiving.  I am not saying God does not forgive willful sin: He does, but we should live cautiously and walk worthy of the Gospel.

Mediate on these Scriptures below to comprehend the works of the flesh and how true Christians have nothing to do with it.  There is no doubt that somewhere along the lines everyone has failed and fallen into sin.  You ought to renew your obedience, repent and believe the gospel.  "Trust and obey."  "Repent and obey."  Grace and peace!


Romans 13:13 ESV
Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
Galatians 5:19-21 ESV 
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Peter 4:3 ESV
For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
