Immorality simply means vice. It is the state of being moral. Sexual immorality is the illegal sex that has caused vices. God wants us to abstain from this iniquity so that we can live fulfilling lives. Below are reasons for abstaining from sexual immorality.
Sign 1
Marriage is not about lust but love. That is why God frowns at homosexuality, lesbianism, and other sexual immoralities. They are not of God but for worldly pleasure. God is not happy about it (Romans 1: 27-28)
Sign 2
God wants to us to know that our physical bodies are temples of Christ. If you destroy the temple of Christ with sexual immoralities, you disappoint Christ. The suffering and death of Christ are nothing in your life (1 Corinthians 6: 15-16).
Sign 3
Do you know the reasons God wants us to get married? He does not want us to have sexual relations with people who are not our partners. God knows that temptation can happen. That is why He said that each man should have his wife and wife her husband (1 Corinthians 7: 1-2)
Sign 4
Do you know that God is particular about what is within you? This is because what is within is YOU. That is why Jesus said what came out of a person is what defiled him/her. Take sexual immorality, theft, adultery, murder, greed, malice, arrogance, folly, deceit, lewdness, slander, and so on. All these come out of us. Let us guide our hearts (Mark 7: 20-23).
Sign 5
Committing adultery is not only a physical action but also a thoughtful lust. Those who commit adultery physically and those who look at a woman lustfully are both adulterers. Let your heart be guarded (Mathew 5: 28).
Sign 6
The reason why God wants us to flee from sexual immorality is that He loves us. He does not want our bodies to be destroyed. All other sins we commit are outside the body. The only sin that affects our bodies is sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6: 18).
Sign 7
God is happy if you should avoid sexual immorality and keep it holy and honorable. Do not give it to lust. Make it sanctify and keep it holy (1 Thessalonians 4: 3-5).
Sign 8

Sign 9

Sign 11
The deeds of harlot and whore defiled the nation. This means that if the adulterers continue to commit this bad heinous act, the land will suffer (Jeremiah 3: 9).
Sign 12
The punishment for sexual immorality is a fall. You should not indulge in the act. Many of them did it as recorded in the Bible and the twenty-three thousand fell just in a single day. What consequences! (1 Corinthians 10: 8).
Sign 13
No matter how the lips of the adulterous woman drip like honey in the beginning and lives a rosy life in the beginning, her end is terrible and as bitter as gall, as sharp as a double-edged sword. The adulterous woman ends up in the grave (Proverbs 5: 3-22).
Sign 14
The glorious is certain if you can avoid illegal sexual relations because it is against the will of God. If the young man – Joseph can reject the sexual request and offer of Mrs. Portiphar, you can see the kind of conscience Joseph has. The glory of Joseph shone at last (Genesis 39: 10).
Sign 15
Have you ever made a covenant with your eyes to look the maid twice? The solution to being free from sexual temptation that can result in sexual relations is to keep your eyes on the maids and damsels (Job 31: 1).
Sign 16
Paul wrote to the Corinthians about the sexual immorality he heard among them, even among pagans. Worse still, a man has his father’s wife. Are you not a homosexual or lesbian or masturbator? Pray against them because God frowns at such acts (Jeremiah 13: 27).
Sign 17
God is not happy with evil acts such as sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, killing, and the like. If you are committing them or any of them, you cannot get the rewards God has put in store for you (Galatians 5: 19).
Sign 18
Paul warns the churches, God’s groups, God’s gatherings, fellowships, cathedrals, etc. that there should not be a hint of sexual immorality any kind of impurity, or greed among them. These things are not proper for God’s holy people. Have you checked your church or fellowship whether all these are not there? You can pray against them (Ephesians 5: 3).
Sign 19
When you know that your body is not your own; it is of God, you should stop sexual immorality. As you go into sexual immorality with your body, you are destroying the body of the Lord. Any time the owner of your body (God) can claim it (1 Corinthians 6: 12).
Sign 20
God accepts zero tolerance for immorality. He does not condone anybody involving himself/herself in any immorality. Jesus categorically says that there is no divorce except for immorality (Mathew 19: 9).
Sign 21
God is angry with harlots, prostitutes, and lustful people. Your dreams have not been coming to reality because of these sinful acts. Have you checked you’re the kind of messages, talk, and looks to your neighbors and other people who are not your wives and husbands? (Ezekiel 16: 26).

Sign 25
Whenever you fall into the temptation of immorality, do not think it is over. You can still recover. What you should do is go back to God. Humbly open to Him and repent. He is our father. He is ready to receive you back. Do you still remember the prodigal son? It is well! (Revelation 9: 21).
Sign 26
Any teaching that is not against immorality, homosexuals, lesbianism, lying, kidnapping, and perjury is not sound teaching from the Lord. Those who practice these will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Timothy 1: 10).
