How do we know the instruction against sodomy is still relevant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The prohibition against sodomy is reiterated in the New Testament, specifically in 1 Corinthians 6:9, where it states that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

While the Old Testament law specifically addressed Israel, the principles of moral purity extend into the New Testament where Paul warns the church against practices that defile. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, it is articulated that neither fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, nor homosexuals shall inherit the kingdom of God. This indicates that the moral imperatives originally given to Israel are applicable to the Church as spiritual Israel, as Christians are called to uphold the standards of holiness and reject pitiful practices of the world.
