Christ's redemption of his people includes the sanctification of their sexuality. Those who know God through Jesus have been graciously given the power to control themselves sexually. Because of the endless grace we find in Christ, we are empowered to never give up in our pursuit and practice of a sexuality that is truly healthy and truly beautiful.

The conduct of Christians is important to the missional mandate of the church. The implications of God's grace ought to move believers toward a loving obedience to the Savior. Indeed it is grace that empowers obedience, not to a cold set of prohibitions to avoid but to a creative life of joyfully pleasing the Lord.

There is a battle being waged by Satan against the souls of Christian disciples. We need the strengthening effects of gospel ministry in order to withstand the attacks. Caring for souls is risky business, but God calls every Christian into this critical work.
