What Is Sexual Purity?
Sexual purity is a state whereby one lives a sexually free life or a sexually faithful life. If you are single God expects you to leave a sexually free life, this means God expects you to abstain from all sexual related practices until you are gloriously married. If you are married God expects you to be faithful to your partner in your marriage. Sexual purity is God’s perfect will for our marriage and lives as his children. As teenagers and young adults sexual purity will help preserve your future, it will enhance your productivity and empower you to succeed in life.
Unfortunately a lot of people feel that the bible standards are impossible to keep, they even feel that it is punishment not to express one’s sexual desire, so they go about Defiling themselves and committing all kinds of sexual immorality and perversions. Little wonder our world today is filled with broken homes, broken marriages,damaged teenagers and damaged young adults. The world we live in today is full of depressed single mothers and runaway fathers. All this chaos in the world today is connected to sexual impurity. The question one may ask now is this, is God punishing us by asking us to abstain from sexual impurity?
Why Cant I Just Have Sex ?
1 Corinthians 6:18: Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Somebody might ask no why can’t I just have sex? Why can’t I just express my sexual feelings the way I like? The truth is that every product must follow the manufacturer’s manual another for that product to succeed. God is our manufacturer, we are his products the bible is our manual of operation. The bible tells us to flee from fornication because when we commit fornication or adultery we sin against our own body. I am going to explain what this really means, what it really means to sin against your own body. sex is a spiritual adventure but most people don’t know they think that it is merely emotional and sensual I want to be sharing a scripture with you shortly before I go ahead to explain to you what it means to sin against your own body.
1 Corinthians 6:16: Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”
The above scripture makes us understand that sexual intercourse joins you with your partner in ways that you cannot begin to imagine. I am going to be highlighting to you some of the things that happen to you when you are sexually active.
What Happens When I Have Sexual Intercourse With Someone?
Any time you have sexual intercourse with someone, you become one with that person. Both of you become one flesh. His or her life becomes your life, his or her challenges becomes your challenges, his sicknesses becomes your sicknesses, and most importantly both of you now share the same spiritual connection.
Since sex connects you to the person you are doing it with, it will be wise for you choose wisely whom you want to bond with. That is why sex must be done the right way. Any man or woman whom you see having sex with multiple partners, can never end well in life, these is because there lives have been infested by multiple spirits, spirits that is at work in the lives of there sexual partners. For instance if you commit fornication with a prostitute, you will always find yourself desiring to sleep with any available prostitute all the time. Also if you sleep with married women, you find out that you will always be on the lookout for any available married woman to sleep with, the same goes for teens and widows. Have you ever heard the news of a cheating wife who with the help of her partner in crime murdered her husband? That is because the woman was sleeping with a murder and a psychopath.
You must understand that you become who you sleep with, the spirit at work in them possesses you the day you share intimacy with them. It doesn’t matter whether you use a condom or not. Solomon started worshipping idols because he started sleeping with idol worshipping women. In the book of Numbers, the children of Isreal, could not be cursed because the were worshipping God, but when King Balak now sent his harlots to seduce the Israelites and they began to have sex with them, the turned away from God and started worshipping idols. See Numbers 31:16.
So you see, why God wants us to abstain from sex and maintain our sexual purity, is because he doesn’t want us to pollute our spirit and our body with pre marital sex. He wants us to be pure until the day of our marriage, however in case you have fallen short of sexual purity, and believe me most of us have there is still hope for you, our God is an unconditionally loving God, who will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Below are some steps to take.
How To Repent From Sexual Impurity?
- Salvation: It starts with you acknowledging your faults and returning back to God. The moment you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you are saved from sin and cleansed from all impurities that comes with fornication and adultery. Salvation makes you a New Creation, you become new and clean before God. It doesn’t matter how terrible your sexual life has been in the past, the grace of God will wash it everything away and make you clean again.
2. The Word: The word of God is the will of God, the word of God has the power to help us live a sexually pure life. Now that you are born again, get acquainted with the word of God. According to Acts 20:32, the word of God is able to build us up and give us our God ordained inheritance, also Peter admonished us to desire the sincere milk of the word of God that we may grow in our salvation, 1 Peter 2:2. If you want to grow in Christ and live a sexually pure life? Then get familiar with the word of God. Be a student of the Word of God.
3. Prayers: In Matthew 26:41, Jesus Christ told us to pray so that we do not fall into temptation, Prayers is a major tool that can prevent us from falling into temptations, especially sexual temptations. We must be prayerful, we must pray for spiritual strength and grace to flee from sexual impurity. We must pray for spiritual sensitivity to know when the devil is bringing temptations our way. Many people have fallen into sexual seen because they where not spiritually sensitive, the devil is cunning and it takes a spiritually sensitive believer to spot the devils tricks. Jesus said, “Watch and Pray” In order wards be spiritually alert and sensitive and pray. I have compiled some powerful prayers for sexual purity, these prayers will help us as we run our christian race with the help of God.
4. Flee: Run, Run, Run from sexual sin, run from fornication, run from adultery, run from every appearance of sexual sin. When you notice sexual tension in any relationship, you run away from it. You cannot pray away sexual sins, you cannot cast out the devil of fornication and adultery, you can only run away from them. You can only pray for the grace to run away from sexual sins. I see God granting you grace in Jesus Christ name.
