Sex sells - Souls suffer II
"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."(NIV) Hebrews 13:4
Continuation of Sex sells - Souls suffer
God made provisions for a healthy sexual release. He made male and female (Gen. 1:26, 27). And since He didn’t want man to live alone, He created a help-meet for him. Therefore, He instituted marriage between a male and a female, both consenting, mature adults, eligible to enter into such a serious contract! This was designed to bring about sexual release, create children, and to keep one’s soul unspotted from the world. He did not ordain the dating scene to be anyone’s sexual playground! (Gen. 2:24; Prov. 5:15-18; I Cor. 7:1-5; Heb. 13:4).
When God’s authority is upheld, one’s soul will not be jeopardized for all eternity! Here is a list of problems that would be prevented, if we would only listen to Him:
1. Prevention of diseases caused by having sex with multiple partners.
2. Prevention of problems associated with birth control on the woman.
3. Prevention of having to put up their babies for adoption. (Statistics prove this comes back later to haunt mothers who did this).
4. Prevention of violating their conscience, exploitation of another, & other problems associated with this.
5. Prevention of losing control over one’s own body, hence one’s life by allowing another to control you.
6. Prevention from losing your self-respect … once it is gone, it is very difficult to get it back.
7. Prevention to live your life as a teenager. This changes when babies enter the equation.
8. Prevention of having to lie to the one you want to spend the rest of your life with in marriage.
If you are in a situation, please take it to God. Hell isn’t worth the value of your soul! God loves you and He didn’t send His beloved Son to earth to die for you, only to have done so in vain! You are precious & important to Him. He created you in His very image. May we all, as parents be the right influence for our children. Train them up in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.” It will definitely pay major dividends down the road. On the other hand, if parents fail to exercise their God-given responsibilities, they will rue the day!
