Although Scripture provides moral absolutes for human behavior and denounces sexual immorality, Christians should imitate Christ by showing compassion toward those suffering from AIDS. Jesus taught that when we care for marginalized and outcast members of society, it is as if we are caring for Jesus Himself. Alistair Begg reminds us of the hope we have in Christ, whose power is able to transform sinful lives. The same Jesus who touched the leper reaches out His hands to touch, embrace, renew, and restore sinners.
1Finally, then, brothers,1 we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you dreceived from us ehow you ought to walk and fto please God, just as you are doing, that you gdo so more and more. 2For hyou know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3For this is the will of God, iyour sanctification:2 jthat you abstain from sexual immorality; 4that each one of you know how to control his own kbody3 in holiness and lhonor, 5not in mthe passion of lust nlike the Gentiles owho do not know God; 6that no one transgress and pwrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is qan avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7For rGod has not called us for simpurity, but in holiness. 8Therefore twhoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, uwho gives his Holy Spirit to you.
