Jesus Christ rose from the dead, physically, on that first Easter Sunday morning, to let us know, through the testimony of the disciples and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, that we are preparing for another life in heaven after this life on earth. Our dominion will not end on earth if we conform ourselves to the Plan of the Lord Jesus Christ and use our earthly experiences to learn the principles that the Lord teaches us in His Word.

The Bible teaches that that there are two aspects to faithfulness. One can be unfaithful to a spouse by having sex with someone other than the spouse, or one can be unfaithful to a spouse by depriving them without consent for a time.

It has taken me 60 years, but I have finally figured it out. If you want to be exalted in heaven, love someone sacrificially here. And the best place to start is at home, with your husband or wife.

The only sexual relationship between a man and woman that shows a man’s respect for a woman is marriage. When a man has a sexual liaison with a woman to whom he is not committed, he is treating the woman as a whore, and God does not want his chosen people to participate in whoredom.

It is inappropriate to allow feelings, however romantic they may be, to motivate us to deviate from that which we know is the objective design of God for the interaction of the genders.

We are preparing for another life in heaven after this life on earth, and that our dominion will not end on Planet Earth, but will carry on to our eternal life if we conform ourselves to the Plan of the Lord Jesus Christ and use our earthly experiences to learn the principles that the Lord teaches us in His Word. But if we don’t learn to love here, we can forget about dominion over there.

When we find that our plans are in conflict with the plans of God, we ought make the conscious choice to follow God, as Mary did.

If a man touches a woman incorrectly, even if his motives are pure and the sin is only in the woman’s mind, the man can’t fix it. He can apologize, but he can’t untouch her. On the one hand, to not touch women seems kind of prudish, but on the other hand, the prudes usually tend to stay out of trouble.
