THE VOW OF
PURITY
GENESIS 2:24–25
“For this reason a man will leave his
father and mother and be united to his
wife, and they will become one flesh. The
man and his wife were both naked, and
they felt no shame. ”
TWO PEOPLE LEFT
THEIR FAMILY TO
FORM ONE NEW
FAMILY.
NO SHAME
TOTALLY INNOCENT
TOTALLY TRANSPARENT
NO EMBARRASSMENT
VERY INTIMATE
THAT’S WHAT GOD MADE
MARRIAGE
EMOTIONALLY
TRANSPARENT
SPIRITUAL
INTIMACY
PHYSICAL
INTIMACY
GOD CREATED SEX AND IT WAS
GOOD BUT IT MUST BE DONE
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF
MARRIAGE , ENJOY IT, HAVE FUN
TO IT, AND IT IS A GIFT FROM
GOD TO COUPLES.
HERE WE WILL BE
TALKING THAT SECRETS
AND SHAME SEPARATES US.
GENESIS 3:7–10
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and
they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig
leaves together and made coverings for
themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the
sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the
garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from
the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But
the Lord God called to the man, “Where are
you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden,
and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid .”
SATAN PLAY A SHAME
GAME TO MANKIND.
YOU EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING DEEPLY
PAINFUL OR SINFUL.
YOU CONNECT WHAT
HAPPENED, WITH WHO
YOU ARE.
YOU BELIEVE THE
ONLY WAY TO BE
SAFE IS TO HIDE.
THE COUPLE THAT IS VERY
INTIMATE BEFORE, NOW THEY LIVE
ON SHAME. BECAUSE OF
SATAN’S SHAME GAME.
WHEREVER SECRETS LIVE,
INTIMACY DIES; WHEREVER
INTIMACY
LIVES SECRETS DIE.

EPHESIANS 5:8–11
“For you were once darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord. Live as children of light
(for the fruit of the light consists in all
goodness, righteousness and truth) and find
out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do
with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but
rather expose them.”

WITH GRACE.
