Fifty years ago, teens were cautioned about two STDs (syphilis and
gonor-rhea. Human’s newfound sexual liberty has now produced over 50 STS, and AIDS is not the only one that kills.
And others can cripple and/ or make life wretched. Some cause birth defects
that parent’s imprudent choice pass on
to an innocent child. Besides, the sperm that ‘s responsible for pregnancy can
get through a tiny tear/pinhole in a condom, but the virus that causes AIDS is
up to 300 to 400 times smaller than the sperm. Dr. Koop, former U.S. Surgeon
General, disbelieves that there will ever be an AIDS cure. It is a virus that
has not been treated, not even the common cold. Further, cervical cancer is
pointed as a disease that is proven to be more widespread among sexually active
teenage girls.
Medical science may get rid
or minimize some upshots of one's
sin, but it cannot take away one’s accountability before God. It is one’s sins
that make God hides his face so that He will not hear us. (Isaiah 59:1-2; Hosea 5:6)
It causes one to be
a bad influence, both Christians and non-Christians. Sexual purity is a way to
show respect for others and to confirm their dignity as human beings. By
conservation of sexual purity, we can be channels of God’s love.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. against such there is no
law. (Galatians 5:23)
Waiting for something develops excitement, as in waiting
for a birth. Sex is something one should wait
until she/he finally partakes of
it. A godly character results from patience and perseverance. Waiting for sex
until the proper time and place, one’s character and self-esteem are built
which is required to live a godly life. Waiting forms trust, and God’s plan is
for marriage to be developed on a basic trust factor. Sexual involvement almost
always removes trust in a relationship. Sexual intimacy generates more broken
relationships than intensify one’s.
Conditional love which is insignificant for developing a committed
relationship is noticeable when boy says, “I love you if you will have sex with
me” or “because you are beautiful, “rather than “I love you.” Without the committed bonds of marriage, sex
is inherently a selfish act made for personal gratification/gain. Diverse
studies reveal that sexual satisfaction is much greater in marriage than in
casual relationships.
Premarital sex causes sexual dysfunctions in marriage. Many end up
in counselling/ therapy to deal with problems related to “teenage” sex. It also
increases the rate of cheating after marriage. Teens don’t discern it when they
are young, but God knew it when He gave the rules in His “Owner’s Manual,” the
10 Commandments.
Guilt is another consequence of violating God’s standard of chastity
until marriage. This has long term effects on future relationships in marriage,
and may haunt and affect a person longer than any other consequence. To have the sex act linked with guilt in one’s emotions because of
premarital activity, causes the joy intended by God for husband and wife to be
robbed and clouded.
There’s floating guilt that comes from a society that says there is
no absolute right and wrong which exemplifies life that has no standard,
therefore no life’s direction that constantly adrift, as free as a ship without
a control.
God has set marriage as the proper place for sex, where humans are
protected within this boundary. Children are born out of sex to be counted as
blessings from God, not as reminders of a grave mistake caused by pre-marital
sex.
Sex has a potent emotional aspect because God meant for it to be a
fusion of soul and mind as well as a physical union. This involves the moral
conscience which can cause pain after the physical gratification is gone,
unless the two have united in marriage. Marital sex is a model of God’s
provision to draw humans closer to one another and to Him.
There are children who are born as a result of pre-marital sex. “Safe
sex” is frequently not safe as a prevention of pregnancy. After which, a child
is born without the proper foundation for nourishment that should be present.
The exploding violence among teens can be linked to children born out of
wedlock and raised by a single parent.
