What is "lasciviousness"?

Posted : 26 Oct, 2018 06:44 PM

Please read the following scriptures and ask yourself "when it comes to dating am I truly following God or am I still lost in the world"? "Am I making decisions of who I date based on the heart or the lust of physical attraction"? "Is he good to me and good for me or is he the kind of man God wants me to stay away from"?

Ephesians 4:17-24 (AKJV)

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
