When preachers stand behind the pulpit to tell
young people things like 'Sex (premarital sex)
can kill you', many of us simply 'smile-off' such
statements, as it seem illogical and 'unrealistic'
to our 'intelligent' selves. However, God laid it in
my heart to bring our attention to certain things.
Let's begin with an incident recorded in Proverbs
7: 6-23. About the young man who was 'blocked'
by a crafty harlot (an adulteress). After enticing
him with smooth words like 'I have spread my
bed with tapestry, colored coverings of Egyptian
linen' (Vs 16), 'come, let us take our fill of love
until morning' (Vs 18), and 'my husband is not at
home' (Vs 19), she was able to lure him into her
chambers! Now, let's see the way wise King
Solomon described the aftermath: "Immediately
he went after her, as an ox goes to the
slaughter... Till an arrow struck his liver. As a
bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it
would cost him his life' (Vs 22, 23). We might
wonder, 'how did (or could) the sexual act with
the woman have cost him his life? Because, we
are sure after the act, this man would simply
rise up and go to his home breathing. So, where
is the 'death' being talked of by the scriptures?
Here is something for us:
1. SPIRITUAL DEATH For going into her
chambers to indulge in sexual immoralities, this
man already sinned against God by disobeying
His commandment of 'Sexual activities must be
between a married man and his wife in the safe
confine of their marriage institution'. The wages
of sin is death (Romans 6:23). The sexual
immoral man has been separated from God
because of his sin (God is a Holy God Who never
condones unholiness). Separating himself from
God is equal to cutting himself from Life (God is
Life). Someone without life is dead. Someone
separated from God is a walking corpse (even if
he currently breathes on earth). Should he die
without making amends with God, he is doomed
forever (eternal death in hell)!
2. PHYSICAL DEATH See it this way. - Neighbors
saw him entered into the adulteress' chamber. -
Neighbors begin spreading the incident, and the
news went viral about how the man had sex with
another man's wife. - Everyone begin avoiding
this man. They now see him as an evil person
who can do anything to satisfy his own lusts. -
The result threw him into depression. His
business affected. His honour butchered. No
friend again, no companion. No more steady
resources. Then, he begin nurturing suicidal
thoughts..... Or, perhaps.... - The adulteress'
husband arrived, heard the news, went to the
man's house in annoyance, and killed him
brutally. He died! What killed him? Sexual
immorality! Unfortunately, when he was about
committing that sin, 'he did not know it would
cost his life'. Now, let's come here... As a young
lady, let me tell how premarital sex can actually
kill you! Apart from spiritual death briefly
explained earlier, you: - Get pregnant
'unwantedly'. You tried aborting it and die of
complications. Or perhaps, you decided having
the baby, but because your womb is not yet
strong enough to produce a life, complications
still come and you still die. - You get infected
with deadly sexual viruses like HIV. Your dreams
and aspirations would be cut short by sexual
sins. - Because you are an emotional being, you
get emotionally attached to him after the sexual
act, putting all hopes on him marrying you. He
dumped you after messing with you, and you get
depressed. Depression is nasty. It affects your
health, and can even make you to begin nurturing
suicidal thoughts. As a guy, let me tell you how
premarital sex can actually kill you. Apart from
spiritual death briefly explained earlier, you: -
Contract deadly sexual viruses that cut short
your life. - You pick a spiritual curse that
terminates lives prematurely - Etc It is obvious
the five minutes pleasure you derive from sexual
immoralities are not worth the aftermath pain.
Wisdom demands that we SAY NO TO SEXUAL
IMMORALITIES and say YES TO SEXUAL PURITY
Remember, the right type of sex (approved by
God the Creator of All) is the one enjoyed
between a married man and his wife in the safe
confine of their marriage union. God bless you.
