The Avenger of Lust

This afternoon we want to focus our attention on the subject of defrauding our brother in this matter of our sexuality. To defraud, my dictionary tells me, is “to deprive someone of some right or property by fraud.” A very severe warning is given by the Apostle in regard to this; that the Lord is the avenger of all such. We want to ask ourselves: What do these words of verse 6 mean? We are going to ask the question, 1st of all – What does it mean to defraud our brother in regard to our sexuality? Then 2nd, We will ask – What does it mean that the Lord is the avenger of all such? And 3rd – What is the role of the Holy Spirit in regard to these things? I want to answer these 3 questions by looking at the scriptural principle and also scriptural examples of people who had to deal with these issues.
