Life is full of surprises. In
any case, I honestly feel that by not having sex before married
is the best choice to make. I missed out on some of the more unpleasant
surprises in life.
I have been teased
and mocked at for choosing to stay with God rather the World. But I know the
crown always fit the cross-one day will be our day as Christians to ‘show off’
in Heaven.
I don't fault people who have
casual sex but I pray that they see the light. But for me, not having sex till
marriage is the best decision I ever made. It's a choice I would highly
recommend to others.
Till I say ‘ I Do’ to that
special person, I have vow to my parents, God, myself and my future unknown
wife that I will stay focus pursuing God and believing that all things will
fall in place. But keeping sex for marriage is both more and less sacred.
Virginity is not something to be worshiped. It’s not about cultural shame. It’s
about the way God designed us and the really hard battle of following Him.
There are serious reasons to
save sex for marriage. First, because as believers, we are to obey what God
tells us to do. 1 Corinthians
6: 18-20 states, “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a
person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against
their own body.
Do you not know that your
bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received
from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God
with your bodies.”
If we are in Christ, we have
allowed Him to purchase us with the sacrifice of His blood. In exchange for
eternal life, we are to trust that He knows what is best for us, and obey Him.
It is God’s will that we
should be sanctified: that we should avoid sexual immorality; that each of us
should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not
in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God.
The Lord says he will punish
all those who commit such sins. For God did not call us to be impure, but to
live a holy life.” Allowing our body to control our actions is an act of
defiance against God. Godly sex is giving. Using someone else to fulfill a desire
of the flesh is selfish and abusive. Even if the partner is willing, you are
still helping them to sin and negatively altering their relationship with God
and others.
The purpose of marriage is to
reflect the relationship between the church and Christ and to serve God as a
strong, unified partnership. Sex, along with procreation, was designed by God
to strengthen that partnership. Sex before marriage means creates bonds that
tear apart people’s hearts instead of joining them together.
Love is worth waiting for. Sex
is something worth guarding for our spiritual growth. So until I say ‘I Do’ ‘I
Wont’ give in to S-E-X!
