Why God's Way is Always Best

God's way is always best! Why? Because God is good; He is loving; He is compassionate and patient and longsuffering - and we are the objects of His affection!

His ways are best because His ways are perfect. Because there is no sin in Him, everything He does is perfect.

Consider for example what sex produces within God's perfect plan: a monogamous marriage where both parties are seeking to live in accordance with God's plan:

• Intimacy in your relationship with your spouse
• A happier, more fulfilling marriage
• Physical pleasure
• Children
• A family unit as it was intended to be (Father, Mother, children)
• A clear conscience
• Brings pleasure to God, and thereby His blessings
• Boosts self-esteem
• Does not hinder your reputation
• No chance of catching sexually transmitted diseases
• No chance of having illegitimate children
• No risk of abortion or its consequences

Now consider what sex produces outside God's perfect plan: any sexual relations outside of a monogamous marriage relationship:

• Broken hearts
• Damaged relationships
• Guilt, shame, regret, remorse
• Low self-esteem
• Bad reputation
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• HIV
• AIDS
• Pregnancy outside of marriage
• Abortion (which brings its own list of consequences)
• Shot-gun weddings
• Premature parenthood
• Child-support

God's way always brings about good results, rewards, blessings, joy, harmony, peace, fulfillment, etc.

Deviating from God's way always brings about painful consequences, discipline, sorrow, disharmony, strife, emptiness, longing, etc.

Abstinence until marriage is God's way.
