Should you engage in pre marital sex.
Hi welcome to a little lessons we're going to talk about premarital sex and I am a Christian.
That means I'm a person who believes that Jesus is the son of God and that makes him
a unique person of all history.
I believe he is still alive.
I believe he's seated at the right hand of God the Father.
And one day all of us you and me included are going to have to stand before him and
give an account of our lives.
Therefore I'm doing my best to try to obey what he said.
But here's the beautiful thing.
And all of that and being a Christian and endeavoring to follow Jesus you know that
he loves you and all of his commandments aren't because he's trying to steal your fun or ruin
your life.
His commandments are motivated from his love for you.
Speaker 100:58So when he tells you to do something or not do something it's not because he's
rubbing his hands up there in heaven saying oh I just love making people miserable not
because he loves us and he wants what is best for us.
And he is the one who thought of the idea of male and female and he's the one who gave
you your sexual desires and he's the one who gave you a desire to be married to someone
and enjoy the blessing of having one person who is your lifelong partner with whom you
can raise a family and enjoy all the blessings that come with that.
So that relates to the topic that I want to discuss today.
Should you engage in premarital sex.
There's a number of reasons why God says absolutely not.
And if you do it actually shows that you don't believe in Jesus.
Speaker 101:52OK I have say you might not I just believe in Jesus can't be tempted.
Or even.
Fall but they will feel so guilty and miserable because Christians have the Holy Spirit living
inside them and they'll be strongly motivated within themselves to ask God's forgiveness
and repent and take steps to avoid stumbling into that sin once again.
Speaker 202:18All right.
So so why did God say don't engage in premarital sex.
Well there's a number of reasons that I can think of.
One would be of course that you're taking a huge risk in harming yourself on many different
levels physically spiritually and emotionally as well.
Sex is designed by God to be a very sacred thing shared between two people who are committed
to each other until death do they part.
It's not for casual relationships.
You know your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
You're created in the image of God.
You're not supposed to be hooking up sexually with anybody except somebody who you are committed
to and they're committed to you.
And as reasons for that of course too because there's a chance that through sex because
this is part of what God designed for that you're going to create children.
Speaker 203:19And God wanted children he loves them.
He wants them raised in homes with moms and dads you know and it's such it's such a sin
against children to engage in casual sex and produce children who don't who aren't born
to a to a mom and a dad who are committed to death do they part to be a family.
Right.
So you're taking a risk of hurting your chances.
Well we use birth control so we don't worry about that.
OK well that's a way around it but not a guaranteed way around it as so many people have unfortunately
discovered you're putting yourself at risk also of getting a sexually transmitted disease
that can really wreck a lot of havoc in your life.
I'm not going to talk about that.
Not really a doctor but Google sexually transmitted diseases and see what you can learn.
Speaker 204:10OK.
And that's that's a form of I guess you could say a warning from God.
You know discouragement from God don't do this.
My blessing my approval is not on this.
And so.
Those are just some of the reasons you know when you have sex with someone that you're
not married to.
When you're having sex with someone's future husband or future wife.
And if you know if they were married to somebody else.
Course that would be a huge sin against that person and their spouse because you're not
treating them like you want to be treated.
Speaker 104:51Right.
And that's just the most fundamental moral principle there is.
Treat other people like you want to be treated well.
Do you want to marry someone who slept around with a lot of people casually.
Well you know you don't want to.
And if you knew that you'd be wondering I wonder what's going to be like how faithful
this person's going to be before or after we get married.
If this is how unfaithful they are before we get married this person can heal that easily
to sexual temptation.
This is the kind of person that I want to you know.
Promise that I'm going to love you till death do us part and raise children when.
You say you're you're you're ruining credibility.
Speaker 205:36With your future spouse when you have sex and say well we're engaged we're
going to be married well you aren't married.
Speaker 105:45You aren't married and.
And you may not get married because there is a chance because sometimes people who are
engaged ultimately don't get married.
Sometimes that will show up for their weddings.
Right.
So.
So until the ring is on the finger and the vows have been made publicly in front of witnesses
only then can you be reasonably certain that you've got a pretty good promise going here
from this person and only then should you share what only they.
Speaker 206:20Deserve and that is you know the blessing of a sexual relationship that
is designed by God to glue you together and to enhance your relationship.
You know a marvelous marvelous ways.
And.
You know for me to give you a chance to add children.
And all the blessings.
OK so don't don't.
Don't be a.
Sell yourself cheap.
No premarital sex is really a mild form of prostitution.
It's just you know it couldn't.
And on one level be considered even more.
Lower than prostitution because you're not even making any money.
As you cheaply give your body to somebody who doesn't deserve it.
OK.
I'm talking to men and women.
Thanks for joining me on this Little Lesson today.
God bless you.
