Lesson

**Biblical Worldview**

- Our identity in Christ affects our actions, which affects our feelings.

**Secular Worldview**

- Our feelings affect our actions, which affects our identity.

**We look at the Biblical Worldview through the lens of 1 Thessalonians.**

- Paul wrote this letter in 51 AD.

- Paul reminds us that our identity is found in Christ and nothing else.

- Our choice of authority determines the nature of our religion (tradition, 
experience, cultural accommodation).

- The Greco-Roman culture was very promiscuous; they had a secular worldview 
of sexual identity.

- Paul makes it clear that any sexual act outside of heterosexual marriage doesn’t 
honor God.

- The church can come across as anti-sex, which isn’t true.

- Sex is holy; sex was God’s idea, and He has set perameters in marriage to honor 
it.

- Sex outside his will does not honor people.

The whole call of the Gospel is don’t act the way we were born.

Christian marriage is meant to be a reflection of the image of God.

The key element of a christian sexual ethic is other centered, not self centered.

What drives our actions is our identity in Christ, not our feelings.
