There are three serious reasons to save sex for marriage.








First, as believers, we are to obey what God tells us to do.


First Corinthians 6:18–20 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.” If we are in Christ, He has purchased us with the sacrifice of His life. He calls the shots, and we are to honor Him.


The second reason is that we are to fight our spiritual battles wearing the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14 ). We are in a contest between our new nature in Christ and our fleshly desires. First Thessalonians 4:3–7 says, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.

. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.” Allowing your body (rather than the Spirit) to control your actions is an act of defiance against God. Godly, loving sex between a husband and wife is giving and unselfish

. Using someone to fulfill a desire of the flesh is self-centered and abusive. Even if the partner is willing, you are still helping him or her to sin and negatively altering that person’s relationship with God and others.


The final reason involves the “mystery” of marriage (Ephesians 5:31 ). When God spoke of two people being joined as one, He was referring to something we’re only beginning to understand in a real, physiological way. When two people are intimate, the hypothalamus in the brain releases chemicals that induce feelings of attachment and trust.












Sex outside of marriage creates bonds that tear apart people’s hearts instead of joining them together.
.

Finally, we need to remember a few things about virginity, and the lack thereof, given God’s grace.



Those who come to Christ after engaging in
premarital sexual relationships are not virgins; however, they are fully cleansed by Christ at the moment they are saved.



God can redeem anyone, and He can heal those who have indulged their fleshly lusts. And, in the horrible case of a woman victimized by sexual abuse or rape, who may feel that she, through no fault of her own, no longer measures up to the ideal standard of “virginity,” Christ is able to restore her spirit, heal her brokenness, and grant her wholeness.
