I know that premarital sex is not that big a deal for most Christian singles. The fact that it is a big deal for God just doesn’t seem to matter to most hormone driven humans.

I have lived on both sides of this fence in my dating life and I don’t know if I have all of the answers or not but I do have some ideas about this.

Knowing that God is a God of love and a God which causes all things to work together for good, one can certainly wonder what is up with saving sex for marriage.

I mean really? Sex is fun, exciting and a wonderful way to bond with another person.

Problem is if you are not sure that you want to marry someone then do you really want to “bond” with them?

If you find them irresistible and they can’t keep their hands off of you doesn’t sex kind of take center stage instead of God?

If we are Christians isn’t God supposed to be on the throne of our life and if we sin with another person does that not imply that that other person is more important to us than God?

If you have sex without a covenant of marriage you are performing the act of marriage without inviting God to the party.

Marriage is a covenant between two people and God. It is a sacred covenant, one which God holds dear to His heart.

If you have sex before marriage how can you expect for God to be so thrilled when you do get married that he bestows your marriage with blessings?

If you have sex before marriage doesn’t that make sex kind of boring on the wedding night?

It is hard to refrain when you love someone, I mean isn’t sex an outpouring of love?

All I can say is that if God tells you not to do something He probably knows all the hidden and secret parts as to why He has told you not to do it.

Sometimes it is just necessary to trust and obey. I didn’t say it was easy I just said it is necessary.
