Just kidding! I only chose that title to get your attention. But actually, now that I think about it, it kind of is... So for me, I 110% believe that sex is a gift from God, and that most importantly, God designed it. Now if we can all agree that God did in fact create sex, then how in any way can it be dirty? Sex is NOT a dirty thing, everything God created he considered good. It is us and society that has flipped the whole idea of sex upside down and turned it into a topic of hush hush. And of course, we can't forget about the devil!! Satan is NOT the sex expert. The kind of stuff he whispers in our ears are things like, "God's holding you back man..you're gonna miss out on the greatest sex life you can imagine if you wait until marriage!" I think this is a big lie that society has given into. We believe the lie and start to chase after something we think will give us fulfillment, but will ultimately leave us empty and longing for more. God love's us immensely and always wants the best for us. Did you know that God wants us to have to have the best sex possible? It may sound a bit weird, but I think it's true. And this is exactly why he wants us to follow his word on the matter. I think a lot of people look at Christians and are like, "Oh, you're one of those people who waits until marriage aren't you. That's a dumb rule." I feel like so many Christians don't know how to respond to this either. But once you look at it from a perspective of a loving Father and God who loves us, it becomes so much more than God making sure we "behave" ourselves. God doesn't want us to have sex before a marriage because for starters there's no commitment, and he knows in the end it will just cause us pain and heartbreak, and he doesn't want us to go through that! Out of all the stories I've heard my friends tell about their own experiences with relationships and sex before a commitment of marriage, they've all ended with regret. I'm convinced that God wants us to save sex for one person after marriage because that is what will bring us true fulfillment. And to us this may be really hard to believe, but we've just gotta trust that God's smarter than us on the subject, and that He's got something so much bigger and better for us than a life full of wild sex and people chasing after false fulfillment. Eve believed the same type of lie that God was holding back from her. Adam did too. Satan's telling us the same thing. I think society nowadays has totally underestimated the intimacy of sex and sees it as just a casual thing that humans should just chill out and have fun doing. We're gonna be tempted into sexual immorality, the bible talks about it a lot (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). But we've gotta resist it, for our own good. Sex isn't a dirty thing and it's frustrating how the church seems afraid to talk about it. I think there are even churches out there who believe that sex is from the devil. I mean....really?
