Leviticus 20:19-20 NLT
Do not have sexual relations with your aunt, whether your mother’s sister or your father’s sister. This would dishonor a close relative. Both parties are guilty and will be punished for their sin. If a man has sex with his uncle’s wife, he has violated his uncle. Both the man and woman will be punished for their sin, and they will die childless.
What are you made for?
Meditating on the referenced scripture brought a phrase to mind: “made for more.” Every man must understand that they have responsibilities beyond just providing for their loved ones. They should also avoid taking advantage of others and refrain from engaging in destructive activities. The simple reason is that God made them for more.
Just as we understand that there are different forms of sexual sin, we should also know that they can lead to spiritual and physical death. Sexual sin not only has spiritual consequences but can also result in earthly repercussions, such as infertility. It’s a serious matter that should not be underestimated, as it involves a connection of bodies and spirits. While God is loving and merciful, we should know that our actions can have long-lasting consequences on us.
While mercy can and will speak, it’s best to be cautious and avoid sin. Even if we think our actions are hidden from others, we should remember that God sees everything. It’s important not to dwell in sin and rely on grace to cover our wrongdoings.
