Sex

 ‘I’m 18 years old and although I’m not a virgin, I don’t sleep around either. I’ve only had one serious boyfriend. I live in England and he lives in Portugal. For that reason, I decided to end our relationship. I wanted to know if it is okay to have sex with someone if I really love them.’ The problem is not i...n having sex with someone you truly love; the problem is when you don’t have a marriage commitment to each other. You don’t know if he loves you enough to give himself completely to you. That is why God advises us to wait until marriage. After announcing his commitment in public, he will certainly be willing to love you just as much as you love him. The Bible calls this ‘fornication’, although some modern people say the word is something from the past that doesn’t apply anymore: “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” Matthew 15:19 Once again, something so ‘common’ in the middle of everything that is bad. I know that nowadays, many young girls who call themselves ‘Christians’ agree to sleep with their boyfriends. They prefer to pretend that part of the Bible is not relevant anymore. Okay, so let’s go straight to the facts then… First: You are already giving yourself completely to him. He no longer has a reason to marry you. Second: You can get pregnant and become a single mother at any moment. After it’s done, don’t complain, because you asked for it. Third: You are behaving like most women in the world. When your relationship ends (which is quite common in these kinds of relationships), you’re just another name on the list of girls he’s slept with. Fourth: The sex will become less and less special, and when the day comes that it should feel special, it won’t. Fifth: At this point, you don’t have a relationship with God, because you are living in sin and you’re not looking to stop. Did you know that? So, please don’t blame Him for anything that may happen in the future. I waited for my wedding day and my honeymoon was indeed very special, not only for him but for me too, and that wasn’t because of where we went …
