Therefore, be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.Ephesians 5:1-5

As our Father God is, so are we to be! Sounds impossible, we are only human, but we have been transformed by the awesome power and blood of Christ! We no longer walk in the desires and lusts of the flesh!
God hates fornication, perversion, homosexuality, and sexual lust, and there are several illustrations in His word of the outpouring of His wrath! Sodom and Gomorrah, who walked in the perverse lusts of immorality and provoked God's hot anger, resulting in their destruction!
Noah, a righteous man, was told by God to build a huge boat in the desert, and for years he preached that a storm would arise and flood the earth, but no one listened. Because their thoughts were evil and their hearts were hard, God destroyed mankind from the face of the earth, but saved Noah and His family along with the animals. So, it is today, according to Christ, that a flood is coming just like the days of Noah!
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:6-8
