1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New Testament
"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Romans 1:26-27
New Testament
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
New Testament
"It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God."
John 3:16-17
New Testament
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Prayer
Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28)—He invites your honesty.
Father, I come to You acknowledging that my desires don't always align with Your design, and that's both my struggle and my opportunity for faith. You are holy, faithful, and Your word doesn't change with culture—help me trust that Your boundaries exist because You love me, not to harm me. I ask for courage to align my life with Scripture, for Christian brothers and sisters who will walk with me without judgment, and for the power of the Holy Spirit to transform not just my behavior but my desires. I surrender my whole life to You—my sexuality, my identity, my future—knowing that my true identity is found only in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
