“But sexual immorality
and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper
for saints” –Ephesians 5:3
The short answer is no!
Let me be clear, I am talking about a relationship between a man and a
woman. While sex is an expression of love,
a gift from our Creator, a pleasure for men and women to enjoy, and it also
should be combined with deep commitment. That is one reason why the Bible tells
us that the sexual relationship is to be confined to marriage. God has been very clear on this, and I
strongly urge you to reconsider any position that allows for sex outside of
marriage. Your heart is deceptive and
you can easily justify doing something that is wrong. And in this case you will later regret.
Ephesians 5:3, a command is given against any sex outside
the bounds and commitment to marriage.
The principles that are found in Ephesians 5:3, is given for our own
good on multiple levels- physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. God’s
commands on sex within a committed marriage are intended to preserve/protect
the family. The family is the basic essential unit of any society! In addition
to our protection, Exodus 20:14 reminds us that sex out side of marriage is adultery.
For those who have not committed this sin, pray that you
stay pure for your mate. And for those
who have broken this command understand there is forgiveness for you if you
seek it. Pray for healing, seek God’s
grace, and love yourself enough to stop.
Remember 1 Corinthians 6:18, “Run from sexual immorality! “Every sin a
person can commit is outside the body.” On the contrary, the person who is
sexually immoral sins against his own body.”
