As In The Days Of Noah

* Matthew 24:36-39

* Genesis 6:1-11 & amp;7:1,7

In the days of Noah:

– Violence filled the earth
– Corruption was everywhere
– The love of many will grow cold
– A decrease in Christian influence
– An increase in immorality
Genesis 6:1-2 – Sons of God refers to the descendants of Seth while the daughters of men refer to the ungodly line of Cain. The righteous line of Seth intermarried with the unrighteous line of Cain resulting in the corruption of society.
(1) THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD, IS OUR STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES OF MORALITY –
Morality – is a system of values and principles of conduct that determines what is right or wrong. So the Bible (a set of values and principles) is our Moral guide for the culture to determine what is right or wrong.

HEAVENS ORIGINAL DESIGN
(1) For Man and Woman – Genesis 2:7, 21-25
– The Lord created men and women….Our identity is in Jesus Christ & how He created us to be

– satan is a liar concerning people’s identity

(2) For Marriage – Genesis 2:7, 21-25
– God’s design and the Bible’s for marriage is for a man and a woman to be married…
– What is moral? when is sexual intimacy allowed? Only in the marriage relationship…….
– There is no sex before marriage

– To live in victory over any acts of immorality, Run or Flee………1 Cor 6:18-20
EX: Joseph in Egypt…

1 Corinthians 7

v1 – Do not touch a woman
– No abuse and no intimacy with a woman who is not your wife
