What Does God Say About Sex?

...our bodies were not made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:13b NLT

God cares about us. It's just that simple. He created us and He loves us. He desires the very best for us - that's why He sent Jesus. Once we trust Jesus Christ for our salvation we belong to Him, which means we have been bought with a price - the high price of the shed blood of Christ as He died on the cross for our sins.

Because God loves us so much, He set up a system by which we would:

• No longer be alone (Genesis 2:18)
• Experience "oneness" with another person throughout our life (Genesis 2:24)
• Be able to procreate, building a family and a heritage of the Lord (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 127:3)
• Enjoy a physical and spiritual experience unlike and surpassing by far all others (Song of Songs 7:10)
• Understand a physical expression of our spiritual relationship with Him (the Bridegroom) as His possession (His bride) preparing to be united with Him for eternity (at the wedding feast)... (Isaiah 62:5; Revelation 19:7)
• Thereby glorifying Him with our lives... (1 Corinthians 6:20)
• And remaining holy (set apart), free to enjoy the sexual experience as it was meant to be without the consequences of sin. (1 Corinthians 6:15-20; Song of Songs 1:2)

God's way is always best. Abstinence until marriage is God's way!
