PREMARITAL SEX: THE BODY DOWNGRADER

WRITTEN BY DR. HESPEY

INTRODUCTION:
Shayo, A Young Talented Lady Was In A State Of Confusion About Certain Things In Her Life When She Started The University. Shayo Is Very Attractive, And Young Men Invites Her Out On Many Occasions. She Soon Discovered That Most Of Them Expected Intercourse In Exchange For Just A Date. But Shayo Is A Christian, Who Doesn’t Believe In Casual Sleeping Around And She Felt Isolated And Lonely.
Was Shayo Wrong To Have Stick To Her Christian Principles? How Long Can She Cope With Being The Only Girl On Her Corridor Who Isn’t Sleeping With Her Boyfriend? What Will Happen When She Finds Herself Overwhelmed By Sexual Desire?

As A Student Of The Best State University In Nigeria, Some Student Known To Me Found Themselves Equally Baffled. Most Of Their Colleagues, Too, Paired Off And Slept Together. Some Lived Together. Should These Young & Single Adults Similarly Indulge In Free Sex? Some Did And They Felt Guilty. Others Abstained And Exposed Themselves To Cruel Jibes. “You Are Wet.” “Are You A Lesbian?”
Such Taunts Sting. This Hurt Prompted Them To Organize A Campaign In Which They Invited Us To Examine These Pressing Questions.
1. “Is Sex Before Marriage All Right? If Not, What Biblical Teaching Is There?”
2. “Is There Anything Wrong With Sleeping Around?”
3. “Does Sleeping Around Really Downgrade Its Victim?”

Major Lessons:
Sleeping Around As A Teenager Or Youth Who Isn’t Married (Including Committing Adultery) Is An Insult To Your Body Because You Are Not A Toy, A Thing To Be Used, Played With And Discarded. Your Body Is A Part Of The Glory Of God’s Creation, Stamped With His Hallmark, With Dignity And Honour.
Moreover, Your Body Is A Temple Of The Holy Spirit, The Place Where Jesus Resides, Which Is Sacred For His Use. Can A Christian Therefore Contemplate Involving The Indwelling Spirit In A Disposable, Incomplete, Shallow Sexual Relationship? Isn’t It Unthinkable?
It Is Unthinkable Until You Find Yourself Powerfully Drawn To A Person Of The Opposite Sex. Then What? What If The Desire To Give Your Body To Another Is Strong? Paul’s Response To That Problem Is The Reminder That “You Are Not Your Own Property, You Have Been Bought And Paid For”.
Our Bodies Are Not Ours To Prostitute. They Have Been Purchased By Christ’s Sacrifice On The Cross Of Calvary. For What Purpose? “God Did Not Call Us To Live In Immorality, But In Holiness” Just As Found In The Book Of (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

When You Are Tempted To Sleep With Your Partner Before You Are Married, Will You Remind Yourself That To Do So Would Be To Defile Your Body, God’s Property & To Act Contrary To God’s Love?
Sexual Intercourse Seals The Permanent Union Contracted Between Husband And Wife. It Illustrates, In A Physical, Biological Way, The Unity To Which They Have Committed Themselves Socially, Spiritually, Emotionally, In Relationship To One Another And The Community.
It Is Also Symbolic Of The Eternal Union Which Exists Between Christ And The Church. Are You Prepared To Mock This Rich Symbolism By Indulging In The One-night Stand, Casual Sex, Intercourse As A Thank-you For A Happy Evening? You May Try, But If You Do You Attempt The Impossible.
As Paul Emphasizes In 1 Corinthians 6:15, Sexual Intercourse Unites Persons In A Deep, Inextricable, Irrevocable Union. There Is, Therefore, No Such Thing As Casual Sex. Even If You “Use” A Prostitute, You Become One With Her.
