The gift of celibacy is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to remain single and enjoy it; to be unmarried and not suffer undue sexual temptations. Matthew 19:10-12 1 Corinthians 7:7,8
I heard a sermon once on this. My notes (which I don't take the best say)
1Cor7: Individuals of worth (single)
Talk to Him. Sing to Him.
It's all-right to be single. Acknowledge it as good. Three times "it is good" v1v8v26 Four times literally "it is good to be single" You're all-right because God says you are. It's a gift from God. v7 to be happily unmarried. Mt.19:12 Why? physical, medical? spiritual, (eunuchs) It's Gods gift to me. Allow it for your growth v26-27 Don't let it dominate your life. It's not the most important thing in life to find a partner.
That's all I have. I don't know who preached it. But that's what the preacher said. I now write down who preached the sermons I have so I know who said what. That's what the preacher said, or I wouldn't of written it down.
