Sexual Purity

 

Sexual Purity Guidelines

  • Sex is good. God created it before there was any sin in the world and called it "good."
  • Like all good gifts from God, sex can be misused and perverted.
  • The boundaries of sex are the boundaries of marriage.
  • Your sexual purity is essential to your walk with God.
  • You are vulnerable to sexual immorality.
  • You are targeted for sexual immorality (by Satan).
  • Your body belongs to God, not you.  
  • Sexual purity begins in the mind, not the body. 
  • Since God doesn't want you to have premarital sex, neither does He want you to do that which prepares your body for premarital sex.
  • Once you let your body cross the line, it will neither know nor care about your Christian convictions.
  • If you have sexual intimacy with someone outside marriage, you are stealing from God and the other person.
  • God has your best interests in mind when he tells you not to have premarital sex.
  • God would not tell you to abstain from impurity if it was impossible to obey Him.
  • Satan will lie to you about sex, but Jesus tells you the truth.
