      1. PURPOSE: HONOR CHRIST (1 Corinthians 6:12-14; Philippians 3:20-21, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 16-17)
      2. PRIVILEGE: JOINED TO CHRIST (1 Corinthians 6:15-18, Psalm 139:13-15, Genesis 4:1, Hosea 2:19-20, 2 Corinthians 11:21, Samuel 16:12, 2 Samuel 11:2, 2 Samuel 11:4, Genesis 39:6, Genesis 39:7,10, Genesis 39:8,9,12)
      3. PRECIOUS: BOUGHT BY CHRIST (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Chronicles 29:1-5, 2 Chronicles 7:1-3, Matthew 5:16, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Romans 12:1,  Hebrews 10:5-7, 10)
