MAINTAIN SEXUAL PURITY BEFORE MARRIAGE

MAINTAIN SEXUAL PURITY BEFORE MARRIAGE

Bible instructs us to live a life free from sexual immorality.

However, God isn’t trying to rob you of fun and pleasure.

He has your best interest

at heart. In fact, God created sex for our enjoyment as long

as it is in the boundaries of marriage

Here are some of the reasons God instructed us to remain

sexually pure before marriage.

1. God protects us from a broken heart. When you

give yourself to someone sexually, you are giving that

person your heart as well. If this person is not your

spouse, then part of your emotions are in the hands of

someone else.

2. God protects you from sexually transmitted

disease and possible premature death.

Every day young people die from AIDS. Not any

of them ever thought it would happen to them.

3. God protects your marriage from emotional

baggage from the past. You can be married to your

spouse and have no guilt from past mistakes.

4. God also helps you protect your self-esteem.

5. You are worth the wait. If someone says he or she

loves you but won’t wait until marriage to have sex,

then that person is lying. Love is patient.

You are worth waiting for.

Resist the temptation to give in to sexual pressure. God has

your best in mind.
