Youth's Greatest Battle *part 2*

1. God does it to protect your future marriage. God wants your marriage to be something beautiful and wonderful and if you mar and scar your life with impurity you are going to have pressures and problem in the days to come. In Gallup poll, 80% of young people questioned said they felt it was quite all right to have premarital sex. That is not to say that they engaged in it, but they felt it was quite all right. So many are becoming bedmates before they become soulmates.

You might be saying, "what's is so wrong with that.? Come on, that's just the lifestyle of today."

Pastor's story : I was walking to a young man once and he was weeping in front of me, saying, "I can't love my wife." It was all because that young couple had engaged in a premarital sexual relationship basaed on lust, not love. One of the reasons we are having such a great in premarital sex and, therefore, there is lack of trust in the marriage. Marriages are breaking up at an alarming rate.

On my point: He will think, "She's done it with somebody else, she'll do it again." She thinks, "He's done it with somebody else, he'll do it again." What does the bible says on the whole subject? It says this:

" Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." 1 Cor 6:18

In the book of Proverbs the Bible speaks about strange or foreign flesh. Outside of marriage, when a young coupled engaged in premarital sex, they are fornicating. When they get married God blesses them because the physical relationship is now pure in God's sight. The young man who has had a premarital relationship suddenly finds that he is no longer satisfied the way he was before. What happened?? His wife cannot now satisfy the craving that she has placed inside of him and feel for these women trying to satisfy those cravings. Some of the women are placed in awkward circumstances and what he may do is say, " Let's go to see dirty movie, let's read a dirty book, let's drink a little, let's party a little, let's smoke a little, let's try to spice up the relationship a little." What he is really saying is, " You dont's satisfy me any longer."

She might be tired, she's looking after the children and as he start to look around and sees someone at the office or at work or at church or somewere else, he says "My, if i could only get with that person maybe she would satisfy me like my wife used to before we got marrige."

Young people, keep yourself pure. If you engaged in premarital sex it will always affect the marriage that God wants you fully enjoy right through life. He want it to be something speacial. He wants it to be something that is going to last.

Don't spoiled it through FORNICATION.

2. God does it to protect our bodies. I know that in some high schools in various States, venereal disease is reaching epidemic proportions. God has given you a body. It is sacred. DON"T PLAY AROUND!!!!

The Bible says, " And you may be sure that your sin will find you out." Num 32:23

The Bible also says, " Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." Gal 6:7

Remember, you always reap what you sow. You reap more than sow.

AIDS
Is now rampart throughout the whole world.

3. God does it to protect us psychologically because if you engaged in premarital sex, which is sin against God, you will always have problems with the flashbacks. It will always affect you psychologically.

4. God gave the commandment in order to protect society and to strengthen all mankind. You can read about any nation whose history you care to study. When it went to pieces morally, rotting at the core, it was at that point of time that the nation started to fall and that is what happening in so much of the western world and also in Asia.

The dirty and filthy newsstands are everywhere, promiscuity and perversion are fife everywhere. Televisyen programmes are allowed now, which would have shocked us, with their sex scenes and language.

Joseph was a young man in the Scriptures. He was virile and strong. He was working for Potiphar in Egypt. Potiphar's wife would come to him everyday. "Oh come on Joseph, come to bed with me, Joseph. Don't be so prudish and don't be so old-fashioned. Let's get it together. My husband is away."

Notice what Joseph says, "How could i do such a wicked thing and sin against God.? ( READ THE STORY IN GENESIS CHAPTER 39)

Young people, if engage in premarital sex, illicit sex, not only do you sin against your body, you sin against your family and you sin against society, but more importantly, YOU SIN AGAINST GOD!!!.

Sebastian Temple is a wonderful Christian. He is a folk singer and a song writer. He wrote this :

" Love is silence - Love is roar
Love is sacrifice - Lust always wants more
Love is giving - Lust only takes
Love is a meeting of hearts - Lust breaks"

The Bible is most explicit on sex. It says in Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage should be honoured by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the aldulterer and all the sexually immoral."

In Eccl 11: 9 it says, "Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgement."

You can go out, do whatever you want, but there is a time of reckoning coming. God's wrath will be gathering above you like the threatening strom and will one day strike you with the lighting of its own revenge.
