1 Corinthians 11:1
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

So many people are busy imitating the latest singer or musician, the recent rising movie star, or leader of the hottest fad of the time. These things come and go. These people come and go. The way they dress, the way they talk, the way that act… these are all things that they received influence from somewhere else. They are not as original as we think. Sometimes they are influenced by the dark side. These days you don’t even know if the can really sing with a studio enhancement.

God is not that way. God is light, He is awesome. He is fulness. We should imitate those believers that have hearts after Him. Then, there will be true originality, true, fullness, true prosperity, amazing longevity, and life abundant. Are you imitating Jesus, or are you imitating the world?

1 Corinthians 10:31
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:6
Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

Acts 4:12
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

1 Corinthians 7:3-5
Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self- control.
-NKJV

Now read in the Gods Word translation…

1 Corinthians 7:2-4
But in order to avoid sexual sins, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
Husbands and wives should satisfy each other’s ?sexual? needs. A wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but his wife does.
-GWT

Married people without sexual intimacy are just roommates. They are missing the marriage vows-
“To have and to hold.. Till death do we part”

1 Corinthians 6:20
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 1:30
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
