Everything we do should mirror our faith, every waking hour of every day we are to be devoted to pleasing God by serving others. This God we worship should consume us. He doesn’t ask for a brief visit to the Temple or a small votive offering of food or coin or a few prayers every now and then. This God wants all of you.

Premarital sex is a controversial topic, especially when viewed through the lens of Christianity. While some may view it as harmless and natural, others may see it as sinful and immoral. In this blog post, we will explore the Christian perspective on premarital sex and why it is viewed as a moral issue.

First and foremost, it is important to understand that the Christian faith places a high value on sexual purity. This means that sex is intended to be a sacred act reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. Any sexual activity outside of this context is considered to be a violation of God’s plan for human sexuality.

The Bible provides several passages that condemn sexual immorality and uphold the importance of sexual purity. For instance, in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, it 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.”

This passage, along with others in the Bible, make it clear that sexual immorality is not to be taken lightly. Instead, it is something that should be actively avoided, as it is a sin against both God and one’s own body.

From a Christian perspective, premarital sex is viewed as a form of sexual immorality. This is because it involves engaging in sexual activity outside of the context of marriage. It is important to note that this is not meant to shame or judge those who have engaged in premarital sex. Instead, it is a recognition that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

However, this recognition of sin should not lead to despair or hopelessness. Instead, it should lead to repentance and a turning away from sinful behavior. As Christians, we are called to live a life of holiness and purity, and this includes our sexual behavior.

Ultimately, the Christian perspective on premarital sex is rooted in the belief that sex is a gift from God intended to be shared within the context of marriage. Any sexual activity outside of this context is considered to be a violation of God’s plan for human sexuality. While this may be a difficult standard to uphold, it is one that Christians are called to strive for as a way of honoring God and living a life of purity and holiness

Experientially, I can tell you that as true spirit filled christian it affects your right standing with God in so many ways and gives the devil an opportunity to guilt trip you amongst other things, our convictions of  God supersedes other things, like trying to keep a man by having premarital sex, which seems to be culture now and if you boldly try to keep yourself, you are the odd one.

If you can, abstain, it takes grace and a conscious – intentional decision, otherwise practice safe sex.

Hearty Cheers!!!
