Is having Sex before Marriage a sin? There are many young people and Adults that are having Sex before Marriage and this is definitely a Sin. Will this keep you from having the Keys to Heaven? Yes, unless you change and confess your sins today before God and His Only Son Lord Jesus Christ! You must also re-accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and ask Him into your heart to show you Thy Way acoording to Thy Holy Spirit. God wants to know that you truly do believe in Him and His Only Son Lord Jesus Christ. As Jesus said in Matthew "Ask, if ye (truly) believe, ye shall receive." Remember God will forgive you if you abide by His and Jesus' Words! Tell God and Jesus that you are sorry for what you have done and that you Believe in Them and Love Them. REMEMBER FORGIVENESS IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO ASKS!!!!!! ASK GOD AND JESUS TODAY!!!! Is sex before marriage okay if you love each other? No, sex before marriage is sinful even if you love each other. Being in love doesn't alter the reality that the sexual act is outside of marriage, marriage being the ceremonial union of a man and woman in matrimony. Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible definitely condemns it. • Matt. 15:19-20, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 "These are the things which defile the man." • Acts 15:29, "...that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well." • 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." • Heb. 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." What do I do if I have committed sexual sin? Christians are not exempt from sexual sin. If you are such a person who has fallen into fornication, adultery, pornography, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, or any other sexual deviation, then you need to stop. You need to confess your sins to the Lord and break off your relationships that lead you or tempt you into further sin. This may be hard to hear, but it is what is necessary. The sexual drive is a very powerful one. It is so strong that it can alter a person's thinking and emotions. It can harden the heart and move us to irrational and sinful decisions. God has created sex for the marriage bed and for there alone. He wants you to be pure in mind and body, reserving the sexual union for the proper context of marriage so that you might properly honor God and your spouse. Failure to do this is to commit grievous sin. But all is not lost. There is forgiveness in Christ All of your sexual sin can be forgiven. The blood of Christ is too great to be defeated by your sin. Jesus paid a great price on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). He shed His blood and gave His life and if you are a Christian, then you have been bought with a great price. You are not your own and the Lord always longs to fellowship with you (1 Cor. 1:9). All you need to know is that you must confess your sin to God and repent of it. This means you stop doing it. You are called by God to purity, not to sexual immorality. • 1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body." • Eph. 5:3, "But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints." • Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry." • 1 Thess. 4:2, "For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God." The Greek word for "immorality" is porneia which means illicit sexual intercourse, i.e., fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, etc. The English word "pornography" is derived from this Greek word. So, you can see that God desires your holiness. After all, this is why you are a Christian, to honor God, glorify Him, and live for Him. To repeat, if you are in sexual sin, stop it, confess it, break off tempting relationships and situations, and seek the Lord. If you fall again, then go to the cross again. Never give up going to Jesus and receiving the forgiveness that you need. Never think that the Lord Jesus will stop loving you. Never doubt Him. He loves you and knows your struggle. Keep Repenting every single day. Then, after you have repented, see if you can find someone to be accountable to. Find a True Christian, someone trustworthy and have them pray with you regularly. It is so true that sometimes beating sexual sin cannot be done alone. We need the strength of the body of Christ. It is important the we ask God and Jesus for the Strength to help us so that we do not have sex outside of Marriage. There are Women(girls) and men(boys)that will try to break Christians who truly believe that you should not have sex before marriage.(They will try to seduce you to committing a sin - TO HAVING SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE) Many will LIE to get you to have sex with them. WE Need to be very careful whom we associate with. Note that in God's revelation about sexual morality there is no mention of pregnancy. The sin is not in letting a baby be born out of wedlock. The sin is in relating sexually before marriage, irrespective of whether conception occurs. And God is not talking merely about sexual intercourse. In his eyes, unmarried couples can sin sexually without ever getting close to what the world regards as "going all the way." We know from our own feelings that what bonds two people together is not primarily the positioning of body parts, but the sharing of sexual pleasure. The notion that only sexual intercourse is sinful is so far off course, that in reality, most sexual sin occurs between strangers who never even touch. Jesus brought to this sin-ravished planet the startling revelation that even looking sexually at a stranger is a sexual offense as serious as adultery or fornication. The morality by which God will judge us is so much more sophisticated than that of western society that many of us cannot even grasp the concept. If you need an explanation as to why the cherished daydream is as immoral as the act. Deliberately indulging in mental sex corrupts you, whereas deliberately inciting mental sex in others – by petting, for instance – corrupts both them and you, because it makes you the tempter and a willing partner in their sin. How far can a dating couple go? All I know is that petting and sex talk are playing with nitroglycerine and that what is safe for one person might not be safe for another. Like fingerprints, each person's sexuality and vulnerability is unique. Other than the decision to become a true Christian, it is hard to conceive of a decision that will shape your entire character and future as profoundly as your choice of marriage partner. By that choice you are sentencing yourself and setting in concrete more things than our mind can cope with. Even your children's genetic makeup is at stake. To abandon careful thought and prolonged prayer and reduce your choice of marriage partner to a few minutes' lack of self-control is one of the most foolish and irresponsible things anyone could ever do. If satisfying your lust is a more urgent need that honoring God by waiting until marriage, then God is not the God of your life. Whatever you have made your god – be it self, lust, or something else – it certainly is not the One before whose throne you will one day stand naked and defenseless. Remember all Sins are forgiven, if you really Mean it. We must show God and Jesus that we truly believe and Love Them. Just like a job, to get a promotion, you must show your boss that you are doing the work that is required of you. God and Jesus want to know that you truly do believe. Please take heed of what God has asked me to write here today as it is essential to especially those of you who are having sex before marriage and essentially important to those of you who are being seduced into having sex before Marriage. WE all must be respectful of our bodY. God created each and every single one of us. God creates only beauty. Therefore we are all beautiful in God's Eyes!! Our Body is only available to be seen after we are married. Again Confess your sins Before God and HIs Only Son Lord Jesus Christ. Help others from refraining in sexual acts before Marriage. Remember God and Jesus Loves us All!!!!!!!!! !!! If we abide by what I have said here, God and Jesus will give us the keys to Heaven. "God be with you each and every single day of each year!"
