Do you realize how important the plan of marriage and sexual relationships are to God.
In Genesis 2:24 we are told that a man and woman will join through the ceremony of marriage and become one. In Hebrews 13:4 we find out that the marriage bed should be kept pure. This "marriage bed" between a man and woman is a special place, a place designed only for them to share with each other. God established these things for us to enjoy.
Exodus 20:14 in the listing of the ten commandments tells us "not to commit adultery". This means that I can't have any sexual pleasure with anyone except my wife. No questions asked! The reason for this , if you look just above to commandment number 6 you see that we should not murder. I think we all would agree that we are glad that God has established that to protect us. But for the same reason God established not to murder, he established not committing adultery. To protect us. But we know Satan will try to trip us up , and we let him. God loves you so much and wants your life to be great, including your relationship with your future husband or wife. We all know what can happen when teens get involved sexually, it does damage to them. Why ,because it is not time for this huge experience to happen in your life.! Hold on.
Read 2 Samuel 11. This is a very sad account of King David letting his guard down and falling for and then taking a woman that was not his wife and commiting adultery or in modern words "had sex with her". If you read on ,she became pregnant and bad things followed for King David in his life.
God has the best plan. Hold on ... Trust God.
Let me give you five things to remember in navigating through this issue in life.
1) God has a plan for your life and it is Amazing!
2) God gave us the gift of the opposite sex to fill that void of loneliness that Adam was feeling in the Garden of Eden.
3)Satan has a diffeerent plan for your life.
4)Satans plan for your life will bring harm and pain, hurting that amazing plan that God has for your life.
5)Have a vision past the immediate moment you are in. When you are with your boyfriend/girlfriend and things are getting "hot and heavy", Stop..look past that situation and think of the outcome and results. In fact eliminate the places you put yourself in where it could get "Hot and Heavy".
God loves you, he is on your team, looking out for your good! The life God has for you is so wonderful.
Trust him today and ask him to help you keep yourself from going in the direction of sex until after you say " I do". It will be so worth it!
