GOSPEL NUGGET #450

Can A Homosexual Be Saved?
First of all, let's define what a homosexual is. A homosexual is someone who is sexually attracted and has sexual desires towards the same sex.
Just as it is wrong and sinful to have sexual desires towards someone else's spouse (it's adultery), so it is wrong to have sexual desires toward members of the same sex. God designed man for the woman and vice-versa.
Just as an adulterer must repent of his or her adultery, so a homosexual must repent of his or her homosexuality.
A man who is resisting his adulterous desires and not practicing it is not an adulterer even though he has a weakness in this area. A person who is resisting his homosexual desires and not practicing it is not a homosexual even though he has a weakness in this area.
When a homosexual comes to Christ for salvation, Christ will give him a new nature that will counter his old sinful nature. He will be transformed into a new man.
If you are struggling with this sin, come to Christ in repentance and faith and He will give you new and holy desires to live the life that God intended you to live.

1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor HOMOSEXUALS, nor SODOMITES,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such WERE (past tense) some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

You see, being a homosexual must be a thing of the past if you want to inherit the kingdom of God. You must be washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of God.
