The Value Of Sexنموونە

Sex is more than body on body. It’s soul on soul, heart joining with heart. It’s a spiritual glue designed by God to bind a man and a woman together for life. 

When we have sex with someone, we give a part of ourselves to them and take a part of them into ourselves. That explains why break-ups with sexual partners can be so devastating. It also shows that the only safe place for sex is in the context of the commitment of marriage. 

Sex is meant to be a celebration of life-long love. 

Sex and sexual attraction are God’s invention. The devil could not create anything so amazing! That’s why he tries to ruin God’s good gift with shame. Sex should bring joy and peace, not fear and shame. 

Sex is like a river. A river can bring life to a town, but in a flood – it destroys. A river needs strong banks if it is to bring life instead of death. Two banks that make a sexual relationship safe are friendship and commitment. Without these, passion and romance are just not enough. 

Our society is being flooded because we have not saved sex for marriage. Think of the destruction around us: HIV, STDs, unwanted pregnancies, 40 million abortions a year, marriages and homes torn apart by adultery – quick thrills resulting in years of pain, regret, and shame.

All this devastation because we’ve believed the lie that sex isn’t worth saving. 

PRAYER: Thank You, God for designing sex. Help me to use it appropriately so that I can know the joy and peace you intended for me.
