A little message for the men out there..
"Sex". A regurgitative, rhetorical yet controversial word echoed a million times throughout the generations of yours and mine.
In typical Hollywood films...you'll get to see them on almost every movie..- In all decency, i do not wish to elaborate on this. :) Well, its kinda deplorable that such acts are glorified in such an irresponsible manner.
It is absolutely not by mere coincidence that you have actually stumbled across this posting of mine.
A few of my close friends confided in me, that they've lead their lives in an obscene & promiscuous manner.....Henceforth,
I felt compelled to address and resolve the issue at hand - Premarital Sex.
1.Virginity is sacred in the eyes of God. It is meant for one, to cherish prior to
marriage. It is God's gift to us at the time of birth. It is this purity that is present within us. It was meant to be given up only after a marriage, which has been ordained and sanctioned by God.
Hebrews 13:4
"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
In his letter to Corinth, Apostle Paul has clearly stated that Sex was meant to be performed between married couples - it is the duties of a husband to his wife, and the wife to her husband!
1 Corinthians 7:2-3
"But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife and likewise the wife to her husband"
Have we brought it down to a new low? I hope otherwise. Do not give in to Temptation!
2.Men - always remember, Love seeks to give, not to take. Sex is about self-
pleasure(taking). As we could see from here - The ultimate act of love - Giving is performed by none other than God himself!
From the start of the bible, it has always been illustrated, demonstrated and provided for - that God is a giver, in the beginning he created, and he gave life to Adam and Eve, he gave and gave!! We are the very direct product of LOVE itself!!
God, as the most eminent, holy, perfect of all, is the perfect example for us to emulate.
Behold, the greatest biblical verse of all!!
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one & only son, so that those whoever believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life"
Don't take one's virginity away. When you truly love someone, you shouldn't seek to take, but you should give - as a form of sacrificial love - the highest order of love.
3.As Christians, don't tarnish the beauty of your body which God has given you.
Bless those around you, with the work of the human body! Never ever give in to lust. Lust is temporary and it will not prevail over time. Love is enduring in all natures, and the reason for our existence, it is proof of God's love for us =)
1 Thessalonians 4:2-5
"For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; "
God represents Enduring Perfection - and for us as righteous beings, as righteous christians, in order to inherit the Kingdom of God, we should be righteous in nature! Being righteous in itself, brings us closer to Perfection. And that will draw us closer to God Himself!
1 Cor. 6:9-10
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?"
Religion aside, Now i shall touch on the morality issues..
- Remember, as a boyfriend, or even as a husband, there is an implied responsibility, as well as liability to your girlfriend's mum and dad. Never not let anyone down, for they have endowed you with their trust. They expect you to take care of their daughter, and likewise, your parents would have expected your girlfriend to take good care of you.
- There will always be cause and effect, and for certain consequences, there may be repercussions that will result in irreversible changes.
- Men, think about this, how would you like it if your future wife were to have say..10 or 20 sexual partners prior to her marriage?
- Do you not know that unwanted pregnancies are the very direct result of premarital sex?
- Imagine this likely scenario in your mind, say if you were to encounter her once more....what would run through your mind? Would it be a evergreen recollection of the eventful times spent together? Or would you turn your back on her and because you are too ashamed to face up to your past?
...Give the above paragraph, a little food for thought.
