4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 5 Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love. Song of Solomon 2:4-5 7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,by the gazelles or the does of the field,that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases. - Song of Solomon 2:7 Sexual Immorality = Anything that goes outside of God's design for sexual intimacy. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. - Ephesians 5:31-32 The purpose of two becoming one flesh is to teach us about the relationship between Jesus and us.
