Why Does It Matter? Purity Before Marriage

Listen Later

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. continues his series called, “Why Does It Matter?” and focuses on why purity before marriage even matters by exploring the biblical stance on sexual ethics.

A glimpse inside this episode:

  • Many people question why sex before marriage is a big deal.
  • God’s instructions on sex are rooted in wisdom and love.
  • Sex is designed to bond two lives together, not just for pleasure.
  • Casual sex can have lasting psychological effects.
  • God’s limitations on sex are meant to protect us from harm.
  • Marriage is a covenant that signifies a deeper commitment.
  • The church has sometimes failed to communicate the reasons behind sexual ethics.
  • There is grace and redemption available for those who have sinned sexually.
  • Sexual sin can rob individuals of feelings of cleanliness, safety, and specialness.
  • God’s grace is greater than our sins, offering hope and restoration.
