In recent years the nationwide “True Love Waits” campaign has inspired thousands of young people to pledge to remain segxwally pure until marriage. segxwal purity is a major moral and social issue in our culture today. Aside from preventing unwed pregnancies and segxwally-transmitted diseases, abstinence also spares young people the moral guilt associated with inappropriate segxwal activity.
Paul said, “Flee segxwal immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits segxwal immorality sins against his own body.” We have physical, moral and spiritual reasons to remain segxwally pure. It is important to save ourselves for the marriage partner to whom we will commit ourselves for life.
As Christians, we are also to save ourselves for our King. In this sense, however, we are not talking about segxwal purity but spiritual purity. We are to love and commit ourselves to God alone. He deserves and demands our undivided faithfulness. This is what Paul is saying in the next couple of verses: “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God"s .”
Throughout the Bible, and particularly in the Old Testament, unfaithfulness to God is called spiritual adultery . Being spiritually unfaithful is as great an offense to God as being segxwally unfaithful is to a spouse. God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Jesus provided additional insight when He said, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Everywhere you go you are surrounded by voices and influences that tempt you to trade your faithfulness to God for some lesser pleasures. These may appear quite alluring and appealing at the time, but don"t be fooled. Whenever you “flirt with lower lovers” you end up disappointed because they never deliver what they promise. You were created for the King, He alone will satisfy your deepest longings and desires.
Don"t trade your future joy and fulfillment for lesser pleasures now. Wait for the best. Save yourself for the King. Commit yourself completely to the Lord who loves you and gave Himself for you. The world will entice you with many things but only the King will satisfy. Don"t settle for lower lovers. Wait for the best!
let there be love
