“Is Your Bed Undefiled?”

Hebrews 13:4

 

Introduction: 

I.  The Reality Of Sexual Expression: Heb. 13:4a, “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled” 

A.  Marriage is to be held in HONOR above all other human relationships (“Marriage is honorable among all”). 

1.   Marriage is between a man and a woman in union throughout their lifetime (Gen. 2:18). 

2. God chose to make a woman for the man; she is the divine compliment for her man (Gen. 2:18). 

3. God presented the woman to the man with the knowledge that both were sexual beings (Gen. 1:28; 9:1, 7). 

4. The union between the husband and wife is to be permanent (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:6; Malachi 2:16).

 

B. Marriage is the only relationship where sexual expression is considered pure (v.4b, “and the bed undefiled”).

The Reality Of Sexual Deviation: Heb. 13:4b, “but fornicators (whoremongers) and adulterers, God will judge.”
