Hello readers, the topic today has almost become as extinct as the dinosaur. With all the other changes that we have come to accept, we have just shoved it under the carpet. More and more parents are failing to instil this quality in their children. In the past when it was taught, it was mainly girls that were told "keep your virginity for the man you marry. 1st thessalonians 4:3 & Acts 15:20, tell us to abstain from fornication.
When people say nothing is new under the sun. It is not applicable to Christians. This is because once born again, we are new in Christ. Therefore we need to strive to be holy. I use the word "strive" because it is not an easy way. Phillipians 4:13 tells us that we can do all things through Christ.
Really apart from the biblical consequences, lets be real here. If a lady said to a guy, oh I am keeping myself for my wedding night. That guy would make that wedding happen fast but where he gets it, he would court the lady for years and sometimes end up not marrying her. There are also health implications and a lot more. Not forgetting that there are guys out there who nay deceive ladies still under abstainance.
The key is to always put God first in all you do. A question that bothers me is why do we not tell our male children about this abstainance? Are their bodies not also a temple of God? If you think it is okay for a man to fornicate then whose daughters are they to defile? Abstainance is applicable to both parties and should be encouraged because the devil is winning a lot of battles today.
As I always say you can only get it right with God and to end it I will recommend 1st Corinthians 6:13- end. God bought your body with his sons blood. Please respect it. Adios
