Christ-Centered Relationships: A Beautiful Thing
Pastors often talk about how sex is a negative subject and saying don’t do it is good enough, but the truth of the matter is that it sex is a beautiful thing.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.” Genesis 2:24-25God has designed sex as this beautiful and enjoyable act to bond you and your future husband together into one flesh. That is incredible in itself. God has made males and females completely different on purpose. He has designed man to be fierce, protectors, pursuers, leaders and doers. And He created woman as man’s counterpart. She is made loving, beautiful, precious, pursued, and a supporter. God is both fierce and loving. He has given his power and danger to males; and placed His loving and precious side in females. Man and Wife come together as one flesh reflecting the image God. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!”Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-20If you have ever sat around a fire pit at the beach or in a room full of candles or even a romantic candle-lit dinner. You may have noted how the fire brings a beautiful presence into the setting. and how you may look at it and be mesmerized by its joy and beauty, but you respect it because of its power. Fire is dangerous, and when it is treated like a toy, it can lead to pain, ruin homes and lives, and even lead to death. I want to enlighten you to the fact that sex and sexual acts(anything past kissing) are no different from fire. You can’t expect to play with fire and not get burnt.
The bible contains verse after verse warning you to flee from sexual immorality…Sexual sin is taken very seriously in the bible because sex serves the exact purpose that God has intended it to: It forms deep bonds that bring man and woman to become one flesh. The truth is that this generation does not understand the ugly road of sexual immorality, they do not know the damage that is being done, the lives that are being ruined, and the marriages that are being destroyed. Your sexually has the power to bring greatness and oneness within your future marriage, you need to take responsibility in protecting it.
