1 Corinthians 6:9-12 Believers in Christ Have Been Cleansed & Set Apart From the World

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. It is a matter of transformation when it comes to the sins of the world. Behavior that we once considered "instinct" is nothing more than the Old Man raising his ugly head. When you have been born of the Spirit of God, you must set aside the habits of the world and die to them. Then you will be raised from your death so that you can live life anew and live for Christ and God the Father. This is the sign of your redemption. This is the evidence of your salvation. Daily Prayer: Create in me a clean heart O God. And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit. Amen.
