SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE 1: WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Sex Outside Of Marriage

a) What does the Bible say about sex outside of marriage?  Is it a sin to have sexual relationships even if a couple is engaged to be married?  Is there any harm to have casual sex between two responsible adults?

2. What Does The Bible Say?

a) God created man and woman just as He ordained marriage.  He also made men and women sexual creatures, therefore He created sex.  In Genesis 1:28, “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”  

b) Procreation is one of the reasons that God created sex.  This is the way that humans replenish those who die with old age.  But God also created sex for a husband and a wife to enjoy.  He is not against pleasure and the proof positive is that those who are married are to give to each other their own bodies for the fulfillment of the other’s pleasures (Proverbs 5:19).
