Why adhere to a Christian standard of sexual morality?

SUE A. SPOTTS

Some people say that in today's society it is unreasonable to adhere to a Christian standard of sexual morality. But the earnest Christian is convinced that this standard is as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago.

The reason for this conviction is simple, yet profound: obedience to the moral law enables one to grow spiritually.

Spiritual growth is precious. Without it we cannot follow Christ Jesus' example; and without it we cannot heal or progress in understanding Christian Science. Through spiritual growth we come to know God better, and ourselves as His spiritual image and likeness. We come into a fuller demonstration of the kingdom of heaven within us here and now, as Jesus taught. And we experience more of the fulfillment of the Father's will in our lives.
