Dealing with pre-marital sex
by Sandra Nwangwu
OK so what happens if you get carried away and give into to your sexual desires? Firstly know that it is not the end the end of the world and God will forgive. 1John 1:9, ‘if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.’ So, simply repent and sincerely ask God for forgiveness and be reassured that He will forgive you ever so quickly because He deeply loves you and simply wants the best for you. Also be sure to forgive yourself and move on living a life that is pleasing to God.
Lastly, be careful to remember that God’s forgiveness should not be mistaken for a licence to sin. 1John 2:1, ‘My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defence - Jesus Christ.’
