Preamble (case study).
Ada, the only daughter of Deacon Benson and the G.A president
of a local church was rushed to the hospital due to complication
from a full dose of medicine ,Yomi her boy friend gave her to
abort her unwanted pregnant.
She lay on the hospital bed in pain, looking sorrowful and full of
regret. She could not imagine why she put herself into such
mess. Now Yomi who is responsible for the pregnancy has
absconded leaving only her to bear the consequence of their
sinful act.
Doctor said she may not be able to conceive in life again.
Dad and Mum were angry and were so disappointed.
What a pity, I have sinned against my God, my parent and
even my self. she lamented soberly and then broke into tears
Now the question, is pre-
marital sex actually a sin?

What then is pre-marital
sex?...........................................................
...........?
Why pre-marital sex
is a sinful act.

The marriage institution was established by
God himself. It is not good for a man to be
alone.. Gen: 2: 18 God established
marriage for;
Companionship. Gen 2:24-25
An help mate
Procreation. Gen 2:8.
.
why sex a sinful act contd
Procreation can only be made possible
when there is sexual union between man
and woman. God also made sex an
interesting and exiting activity to bring
about intimacy between husband and
wife alone and alone but Satan took
advantage of this and confused
mankind to have wrong notion about sex
and making them to disobey God.
Remember Satan deception in the
Garden of Eden.

why sex is sinful act-contd
Sex outside marriage is filthy,
shameful, it defiles and is unholy. Who
ever therefore engage in sex before
marriage has eaten the forbidden
fruits. He/she has acted against the will
and purpose of God and thus sin against
God. Sex is mean only for the married
couple. Heb 13:4 ------marriage is
honorable.
.

The case study.
Ada from our case study did not only sin
against God but against herself and even
against her parent. It is interesting to note
that Gods laws and instructions are made for
us to have a fulfilling and meaningful life. The
choice is now left for individual to make.
Instead for Ada and Yomi to be at peace the
lord has provided they made a wrong choice to
tear their life into pieces. Dont sin against
God and yourself, desist from pre-marital
sex.

Danger of pre-marital sex.
Sin against God.
Shame.
Loss of virginity and integrity
Unwanted pregnancy.
Abortion.
Disappointment
E.t.c



What then should I do?
Self determination/resolve to resist the
devil. James 4:7.
Watch your thought. Matt 15:19-20a
Beware of peer pressure. Pro 1:10, 15-
16
.Dont make yourself unnecessarily
attractive.
Focus on your carrier and be diligent in
your study.
How can all these things be
possible?
This question came up on different
occasions to Jesus Christ but the right
answer has always been; yes, with God
all things are possible. Matt 19:26, Lk
1:37; Mk10:27
It is possible with God if only you
abide with him and obey His
instruction.

You need the following.
Be born again. John 3:16
Be spirit filled Eph 5:18.
Pray without ceasing. . 1 Thess 5:17.
Study the word of God always.2 Tim
2:15.
Never despise the gathering of believers.
Seek good counsel Prov 11:14.
Dont be ignorant.
Never relent in working for God
And the grace of God will be
sufficient for you.

Conclusion
To remain a virgin and wait before
marriage is only possible for the
chosen ones. The only few ones who
resolve and determine to remain
undefiled until their wedding day.
