The Epistle of Jude warns us of the danger of people coming in and erroneously teaching that grace means “I can sin up a storm and grace will just cover it all over.” Yet we learn that what we do with our bodies does matter, because our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are to honor God with our bodies, with our speech, with our lifestyles. As Christians we are to be the Holy dwelling place of God the Holy Spirit.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
—I Thessalonians 4:3-8
