A DIVINE LAW THAT MUST NOT BE BROKEN

“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,… and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:19-21)
Sexual relations must be realized between a man and a woman and exclusively in the conjugal relation. Homosexual relations and sexual relations out of marriage are sinful and they will bring serious consequences.
A responsible and exhaustive study of the Scriptures will take us undoubtedly to the conclusion that sex is exclusive for marriage. Whenever the Bible speaks about sex it refers to married persons. On the contrary, the word “ fornication “ appears more than 47 times in the Bible and in many passages it refers to acts of sexual immorality in general.
One of the questions that people ask constantly is if God allows premarital sexual relations. Some of them wish they were permitted and say to have good reasons. Some of them justify their sinful actions saying that the sexual act that is realized before the wedding is a form of preparation for a happy marriage. The liberal minds ask themselves: how can we know if we have not learned? How can we learn if we have not experimented? How can we be sure that we complement each other sexually if we do not practice before marriage? They want to apply a popular proverb that says: “One must sharpen his sword before going out to hunt” and the libertines ask: Is this not also valid in the sexual life?
Among the many questions, some of them such as these are the ones that our young people ask themselves: What good is it to get married if in the marriage I realize that I am impotent for not having the sufficient training and not learning previously how to use this power that dwells in my body? Is there not any danger that the sexual organs will remain undeveloped for not being used? Surely the response is a resounding "no". Not even science believes that way and that form of thinking has much less of support from the Word of God. If sexual relations must not exist before marriage, then when do they begin? In accordance with the council of the Bible, the moment in which the sexual relations begin is on the honeymoon and not before. Healthy sexual relations are the result of an ingenious planning, of a good initiative, of good desires of cooperation, of a suitable communication and comprehension; they are in synthesis, the product of a suitable practice.
Many young people, when their normal sexuality and excitement begins to wake in them produces sensations that they have not experience in the past, they do not know how to react and simply react in animal form or under the advice of friends or of mass media that promote sex and passion, instead of love and the development of sexuality with a high morality and high healthy convictions. Among the young people there exist a big number of busybodies. They brag about experiences that they have never lived; they relate what they saw in pornographic movies as if they were their own experiences and try to present themselves as experts in sexuality. They boast of the number of girls' with whom they have slept with, they presume of their active sexual life and incite others to enter the world of premarital sex. To enter the sexual life in this fashion is the worst thing that a person can do. Many people believe that sexuality is having sex, just like many people who believe that nutrition is eating.
