6 Basic Truths-Part 2

4. God has Standards of sexual behaviour for His children.

God takes sexual standards seriously, and He wants to be heard on the matter. Clearly, premarital intercourse is outside His standards. God has already rammed His own stake into the ground.

Among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality or any kind of impurity or of greed..nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking which are out of place.
Ephesians 5:3-4

Not even a hint?? That, my friend is quite a stake.

5. God's love is Not based upon your ability to meet His standards.

God's love for you is unconditional. it never changes. Before you were formed in the womb,He loved you. You are the apple of His eyes. His love for you has no limits and His love for you never wanes. If you masturbate, that fact doesnt lessen your value to Him. If you get up under a girl's bra, God doesnt regret having sent His Son to die for you.

But He will continue to chase you desperately, aching to reach you before it was too late and your heart was too hardened.

6. Rules are Part of A Vibrant Relationship with Christ.

When you break God's standards, the Lord doesnt reject you but you cant be close to Him. The implication was that continued sexual activitu would hurt you intimacy with Christ. God's rules werent just sets of arbitrary. kill joy regulations. Instead His rules actually aim to set you free to live fully and to avoid dangerous traps.
