Praise ye the Lord, how are you doing dearly beloved? It's another moment to discuss the Bible again. Today, I'm sharing my entry on the topic on whether lovers could sleep together before marriage. According to the word of God premarital sex is wrong as emphasized in brother Eli's teaching. The book of Hebrew 13:4 says "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge".
Marriage is indeed a holy thing and sexual activity should only exists between husband and wife and not boyfriend and girlfriend. In fact, sexual relationship shouldn't take place between fiance and his fiancee until they are joined together. This is evident in the book Matthew 1:18-19, as Joseph did not sleep with Mary even though they had been engaged. Sexual relationship before marriage is shameful.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
When Christians realize hat their body is truly the temple of God as written in the book of 1 Corinthians 6:19 they become conscious of how they use themselves. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Premarital sex is a sin of fornication and God frowns at it. His eyes are too holy to behold iniquities. Little wonder, we are beseeched in the book of Romans 12:1 that we present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. We our vessels unto God and we are to consecrate our lives and body from sins and defilement.
In fact, under no circumstances should one should engage in premarital sex. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body". We should know that we are to abstain from sexual activity until marriage . If the purpose of thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. But now, we know. We are the temple of God and we can't afford to defile His temple.
Thanks for reading.
