Bible Question:
Is sex before marriage a sin? What does the bible consider to be "sexually immoral" "adultery" "impure". What happens if a person has sex before marriage. |
Bible Answer: Greetings! On behalf of the Forum, I apologize for the reply you received that contradicts God's Word. That post is in violation of the Lockman Foundation guidelines that we agree to abide by when posting to this site. Yes, pre-marital sex is wrong; yes, it is a sin. "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Heb 13:4 What happens if a person has sex before marraige? They are openly rebelling against God's law and are subject to the emotional and possible physical (unwanted pregnancy, disease, etc) consequences of their choice. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." Gal 6:7 Christ paid the penalty for ALL sin on the cross. Upon your repentence and confession of faith in His atoning sacrifice for your sin, you are free from the penalty (eternal separation from God) BUT, not necessarily from the consequences of your sin! Marrriage is a picture of the union that God desires with us - He longs for a virgin bride - but because of our sin nature, all of us are defiled, impure - we have chased after other "lovers!" Yet, IN CHRIST, we are made into brand new creations, clothed in HIS righteousness, our purity restored. It is indeed an awesome act of GOd's grace to be made clean in this way! I hope this encourages you to choose to be obedient to God's Word. espeically in the area of sexual purity. In Christ's love, mommapbs |
