Sex is a beautiful and natural expression of love between a husband and wife. It can be an incredibly intimate act that brings couples closer together both physically and emotionally. However, it’s important to remember that sex should not just be about pleasure-seeking but also about building meaningful connections with one another. When we approach sex in this way, we honor God’s original plan for our bodies and relationships.

Unfortunately, the devil has twisted this gift from God into something perverse through things like pornography, abortion, and sexually transmitted diseases. Our society has been promoting sex as a lustful, sinful, animal-type activity that sells products and perverts young people’s hearts and minds. It’s only when we follow God’s instructions for sexuality – keeping it within marriage – that we can avoid these pitfalls and experience true joy in our relationships. So let us celebrate the gift of sex as a beautiful part of God’s design rather than something to be used selfishly or without regard for His will. ~ Bill Greguska

Colossians 3:5   Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.

Why Is Sex Before Marriage Not A Good Idea At All?


God Created Sex ~ Not For Recreation But For Re-Creation!

Sex In Marriage Is The Only Right Way!

I believe that sex is a beautiful gift from God unless it is not used as God intended!

The topic of sex in our society has gotten out of hand in many ways.

  1. There is some truth that it is a tendency for women to give up sex to get love. 
  2. Often, men tend to give up love to get sex. Both ways are wrong.

Only if people were wise enough to realize that God had a plan for everything and people ought to practice sexuality in the way God intended it to be, which is in marriage, not how people feel like it. I am guilty of not doing it the way God instructed us to do it, and because of it, some hardships came about.

I had a daughter out of wedlock. So I know first-hand what I am talking about in this matter! Without God as the compass in our lives, we will see more and more of the unbridled sexuality that the world gravitates toward a severe concern. God has given us a beautiful gift that ought to be opened between a husband and a wife in the bond of marriage, only not just for pleasure or recreation. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Sex And The Desires That Go With It!


 

 

Definitions Of Sexual Sin!

God intended sex to be a beautiful thing between one man and one woman to keep the world populated. Our sinful world has attempted to change what God meant for good. Here are a couple of definitions of how sex has gotten distorted and sinful.

Definition of debauchery = extreme indulgence in bodily pleasures and especially sexual pleasures: behavior involving sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. that is often considered immoral

Definition of lewd = crude and offensive in a sexual way. “she began to gyrate to the music and sing a lewd song”

Definition of lascivious = filled with or showing sexual desire: lewd, lustful lascivious acts/thoughts

Sex Is Not A Sin ~ But Immorality A Sin!


 

Here Are Some Helpful Links:

 


 

What If More People Abstained From Sex Until Marriage?

Being sexually active before marriage has many unwanted consequences, even if you don’t experience heartbreak, a sexually transmitted disease, or unwanted pregnancy. God didn’t design sex in this way. He beautifully planned a healthy, pleasurable experience to create children in a healthy family between one man and one woman. Our society has drastically changed the way we value marriage and the personal morals taught to us when we were young.

Sex in our society has gotten outrageous. You can tell by what is on TV and in the movies to get an idea. Our moral fiber has weakened to the point that it is today for many reasons. Before the Bible was taken out of our schools, we had problems, but the problems have only gotten worse. Shame has been taken out of the equation for the most part. Although the effects of lack of morals have crippled our society to the point of women having abortions at will, sex before marriage as a norm needs to be corrected. 

 

 

 


 

The Media Has Cheapened Sex Completely!

Unfortunately, the media has distorted sex today and has caused our world to embrace lust. It is not a game or a thing to be regarded lightly. When sex is practiced as recreation or pleasure outside marriage, it will see more problems than you can imagine. The momentary pleasure of sin can result in many regrets and negative consequences. These can be bypassed by abstaining from sex until marriage. Wait until the time is right (marriage); then welcome your child into this world the way God meant it to be.

1 Corinthians 6:19  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.

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

Hebrews 13:4 ESV 

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

1 Corinthians 6:18 ESV 

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 7:2 ESV 

But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Proverbs 5:18-19 ESV 

Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.

Matthew 5:28 ESV 

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 ESV

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

1 Corinthians 7:5 ESV

Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 ESV 

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Colossians 3:5 ESV

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Exodus 20:14 ESV 

“You shall not commit adultery.

1 Corinthians 6:13 ESV 

“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV 

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Proverbs 6:32 ESV

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.

Galatians 5:19-21 ESV 

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Leviticus 18:22 ESV

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 ESV 

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.
