Leviticus 18:14 NLT
“Do not violate your uncle, your father’s brother, by having sexual relations with his wife, for she is your aunt.”
Don’t just say no; act it
In a WhatsApp chat, a former classmate announced that he had left Christianity because he felt that the rules were too controlling. However, upon careful consideration of the scripture, it becomes evident that none of the guidelines were established to benefit God. Instead, they are intended for our benefit, particularly when we adhere to them. King David supports this notion in Psalm 19, verse 8, stating, “The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living.”
While it is true that it takes two people to engage in a relationship, the Lord clarifies in the referenced scripture that men are responsible for managing their emotions. Even if the woman initiates the inappropriate behaviour, the Lord instructs men and boys to resist. As a man of faith, it is crucial to recognize that it is your responsibility to cultivate a heart that rejects anything ungodly, even the aspects of sexual relations.
