Obey God's Command For Marriage

Obey God's Command For Marriage "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24 Because sexual sins are something most everyone struggles with at some point in their life, almost everything that you hear about sex is negative. The fact is sex is not evil, it is a gift from God. Like everything that comes from God, sex is a perfect gift. Sadly, it is man that ruins the perfect gift by perverting it. Sex was given by God to a man and woman to be enjoyed in the bonds of marriage. Anything outside of marriage is a perversion of this beautiful gift. Think about all of the consequences that occur from the perversion of this gift from God. Sexually transmitted diseases, children born out of wedlock, abortions, divorce, violent confrontations between spouses, emotional disorders, and the list goes on. When sex is enjoyed in the context God intended, between a husband and wife, these consequences are greatly minimized or totally eliminated. If the only person you had sex with was your husband or wife, there would be no sexually transmitted disease, there would be no babies born to unwed mothers, abortions would be minimal since the largest percentage are by women who are not married, divorce numbers would be greatly reduced, and a host of other real life problems from having sex outside of marriage wouldn't exist or be minimal. I want to encourage those of you that are married to recognize sex as the gift from God that it is, and not take it for granted. Other than your bond together in Christ, nothing is more intimate between you and your spouse than sex. It is a gift that you both can enjoy together for your entire married life. Don't let anything rob you from enjoying this precious gift God has give to you and your spouse. Sex is not evil, it is a precious gift from God for a husband and wife to only share together.
