Blog Highlight: “The biggest thing I stress to young sisters is to NOT allow your body to be used by men (or women for that matter) who are NOT committed to you. Period. The price you will pay emotionally is TOO HIGH. Trust me on this. Your most valued asset in life is your self-esteem and self-love. If you trade that because you are lonely or because you feel lost–there will be a “running day and a catchin day” as my Nana used to say.” —Excerpt from the “Sexual Purity Blog,” written by Sophia Nelson
This particular part stood out because I was recently studying the Song of Solomon (Or known biblically as The Song of Songs) in the bible with my best friend and we were blessed with much revelation from God regarding this topic: SEX!…….We love sex, the beauty of sex and the benefits of sex. Both of us are young women who have experienced some form of sex in the past and have decided a long time ago to live as celibate adults. We now live passionately in our celibacy and encourage others to do so because of the stellar results that have been produced from this lifestyle. However, we are still very curious as to why sex (&specifically this book in the bible) is not preached out of or recognized AT ALL in the church. No preacher, ever preachers on this topic or this book at church! LOL! Smh…anyways,
Very perplexed, we went into the pages of Song of Songs with the intent of really examining the heart of God and how He presents sex to His people. This truth, included in the excerpt above, was one of the MAIN points that God made clear to us in our study time.
God created commitment in the marriage institution to protect us from physical and emotional pain. My friend and I both thought that something viewed as meaningless to many and is very much devalued is the one and ONLY thing that God has ordained to PROTECT US AND our future generations from hurt, harm, and danger when we have sex. NOT condoms, but marriage!;-) So why would we not ensure that the commitment is there before we have sex? Why wouldn’t we not have sex within marriage and protect ourselves from this pain that Ms. Sophia and millions of other men and women have experienced because of the lack of TRUE commitment in a relationship full of sex. It seems silly right?
The reality is, we are a very destructive race of people without the Lord and His guidance. We are all on roads towards a life of foolishness, drama, pain, and destruction without His wisdom. So I urge you to put on your “commitment armor” BEFORE you have sex. Meaning make sure the commitment is there and is sealed in marriage before you go that far….
We often think that true commitment in a relationship is a time of the old. We think that nobody is really committed like they say they are, and if perhaps they are, it is not a common case to find. But if people knew how it can protect them, would they respond differently? Maybe responding more like they would if they were being attacked in the middle of the battle field and had to put on armor to protect them from death? This is how we are to think of sex within a committed marriage. The fact of the matter is that its time to change our minds. REPENT in regards to sex and the marriage commitment. Start putting on the proper armor that will cover us in life. Sex is a wise place to start. Lets promote it in marriages only, and lets encourage abstinence and celibacy! Our lives depend on it.
