OUTLINE:

The Gift of Satisfaction
True satisfaction is a gift from God. If we charge through life with sinful abandon, we risk ruin. There are many things to enjoy, but they must be enjoyed in faith and obedience. (Ecc 11:9)

“do all to the glory of God”
This means EVERYTHING, not just certain parts that give you the ability to point and say, “See, I do this or that to the glory of God!” Holy Scriptures says “do all” <- that is the objective and therefore the godly mindset.

“flee from youthful lusts”
God tells us to “abhor what is evil; cling to what is good” (Ro 12:9b). He’s telling us to run away from youthful lusts (e.g., impure sexual thoughts - sins begin as thoughts, remember). Avoid impurity is the gist, and to “do all to the glory of God” (1Co 10:31).

“flee”
from pheugo - to escape, to flee, to run away; same Greek word as used in 2Ti 2:22 - “flee from youthful lusts”, only here, Paul uses a different word, “immorality”

“immorality”
from porneia - derived from pernao (“to sell off”); properly, a selling off (surrendering) of sexual purity; promiscuity of any (every) type; where we get the English “porno” (root for pornography)

Mt 5:28
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

2Ti 2:22
Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

“unbecomingly”
from aschemoneo - Strong’s: to act improperly, unseemly; to behave unbecomingly (or even dishonorably); perhaps: to consider (something) unseemly.

“morals”
from ethos - means habit, manner, custom, morals; where we get the English “ethics”; in context, refers to that which friendship with the world corrupts (consider our society’s viewpoint on sexual sins)

Jn 3:19
“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.”

Pr 1:10
My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

2Pe 2:18-19
For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

Sexual Enslavement
- Ro 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
- 2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

“touching”
from hapto - means to fasten to, lay hold of, cling to; to ignite; "to modify or change by touching" – properly, "touching that influences" (modifies); touching someone (something) in a way that alters (changes, modifies) them, i.e. "impact-touching."
