In this audiobook, we are going to carefully examine every main verse on “fornication” or “sexual immorality” in the New Testament. The Bible gives a lot of instruction against sexual sin and how to avoid it or repent of it. We start with the Lord Jesus Christ, the one who is the truth. Jesus said that fornication—sex between boyfriend and girlfriend—is evil, and it defiles people. He exposes the root of the sin and shows its damaging effect on anyone who engages in it.

But as we close one chapter of life, we need tools and information to begin a new chapter.

We know that Jesus came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet many of us would describe our lives with words such as busy, stressed, anxious, or even overwhelmed.
