So many things that God means for our good also can be turned towards our harm.

The Bible gives clear instruction on aspects of life within which we have freedom, but even with that, we must approach these areas with a sober sense of responsibility so that they do not become out of control in our lives, causing damage to ourselves and others.

But the Lord promises us that when we submit those broken things, He will provide restoration and healing…

Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,[b] 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-12 (ESV)
