The Bible Project Daily Podcast Sex is Not Sin. (1 Corinthians 6: 12-20)
Welcome
In today’s episode, we’re going deep into one of the most misunderstood and misapplied topics in the church: sex, freedom, and holiness. Centered on Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 6:12–20.
This episode is about more than moral behavior—it’s about identity, redemption, and what it means to honour God with our bodies in a culture that has confused liberty with license.
What to Expect
- A frank and compassionate exploration of sexual temptation and Christian freedom
- What it means that our bodies are “temples of the Holy Spirit”
- How Paul's words still speak to today’s culture of moral confusion and self-justification
- The powerful truth that you are not your own—you were bought at a price
- Why Christian ethics are rooted in relationship, not just rules
Key Themes
- Freedom with Boundaries: Christian liberty isn’t permission to sin—it’s power to live differently
- Sexual Ethics Rooted in Theology: Our bodies belong to the Lord, not to our impulses
- Union with Christ: We are spiritually joined to Jesus—what we do physically matters
- Holiness in a Broken World: The call to flee immorality isn’t fear-driven—it’s freedom-giving
- Grace for the Fallen: No matter your past, the blood of Christ covers all sin
Scripture Focus
“You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies.”
— 1 Corinthians 6:19–20
Final Word
This episode challenges all of us—single, married, struggling, victorious—to rethink not just what we do, but who we are. You are not defined by your failures, but by the One who paid for you. Glorify Him not only with your words, but with your whole life—including your body.
