Facts are still facts. My point is simply this: Premarital sex just isn't smart. There are more
disadvantages to premarital sex than what society leads us to believe . Dr. Short doesn't preach or
moralize, but his conclusions clearly confirm the teachings of the One who invented sex in the
first placeit was God's idea. In the Bible, He inspired the writing of these three powerful
verses [among many]:
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled , for God will
judge the sexually immoral and adulterous (Hebrews 13:4, English Standard Version, emphasis
added throughout).
He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself . He will get wounds and
dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away (Proverbs 6:32-33,ESV).
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the
sexually immoral person sins against his [or her] own body (1 Corinthians 6:18, ESV).

Aside from the obvious risks of STDs (including AIDS) and unwanted pregnancies, there are
those not-so-obvious elements of suffering, betrayal, heartache, remorse, shame and guilt. How
often do they show those things in most portrayals of premarital (and extramarital) sex
on TV and in movies today? Those few moments of pleasure are just not worth a lifetime of grief
and regret.
After getting all the facts, I made the decision some years ago to save sex for my future marriage
a tough and unpopular decision, especially for a guy. But I am convinced I will not regret it.
If you think vertically and go God's way, it will be true happiness and pure joy. And you will
never regret it!
The Bible refers to premarital sex as fornication. That's a word we don't hear much these days, so
what does it mean? Fornication is sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each
other. The only distinction the Bible makes between premarital sex and adultery is that adultery
involves married persons while fornication involves those who are unmarried. Premarital sex is
just as much of a sin as adultery and all other forms of sexual immorality. They all involve
having sexual relations with someone you are not married to.

There is no Hebrew or Greek word used in the Bible that precisely refers to sex before marriage.
The Bible undeniably condemns adultery and sexual immorality, but is sex before marriage
considered sexually immoral? According to 1 Corinthians 7:2, yes is the clear answer: But
since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own
husband. In this verse, Paul states that marriage is the cure for sexual immorality. First
Corinthians 7:2 is essentially saying that, because people cannot control themselves and so many
are having immoral sex outside of marriage, people should get married. Then they can fulfill
their passions in a moral way.
Since 1 Corinthians 7:2 clearly includes sex before marriage in the definition of sexual
immorality, all of the Bible verses that condemn sexual immorality as being sinful also condemn
sex before marriage as sinful. Sex before marriage is included in the biblical definition of sexual
immorality. There are numerous Scriptures that declare sex before marriage to be a sin (Acts
15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21;Galatians 5:19; Ephesians
5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence
before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of
which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).
