HOW SOUND IS YOUR MIND TO SEX?

The Bible states that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind. Sound mind is critical at all times when it comes to your belief system because the moment what you believe about sex is wrong, there is no way your sex life can be right.

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SEX?

ls your definition of sex God's definition? When asked, most people would probably say that sex is simply intercourse between two people. Many in our society have come to see sex as that narrow definition. Once your definition of sex is faulty, your used of it or concept would be also faulty. Too many people see illicit sex as a secret that may never be revealed while others see it as something everyone else do. Some see it as every man's battle but the sound minded ones know that the difference between your wife's body and the other woman out there is the shame that comes with it when secret is exposed.

Sound minded people know that sex is not just fun or physical exercise. They know that sex is a covenant exchange of life, love and pleasure between the man and the woman in marriage for the purpose of unity, procreation and expression of marital love. No condom can protect once memory from illicit sex so those sounded minded people don't go close to it.  They know that male's semen contain white blood cells and that the life of any flesh is in the blood, so they understand that sex is a transaction that involves a deposit as well as withdrawal.

Sound minded people know enough that the body you use for sex in marriage is a legal body while outside of wedlock is a stolen body. They have the understanding about the fact that the only body that can't lead to scandal is your wife's body. They are sane enough to know that the effect of sex in marriage is good news while out of marriage is bad news.

Every sane person knows that every illicit sex is a transaction and negation or trade by barter where you trade your dignity for her body and your honor for her breast. You trade your peace of mind for sex scandal and your glory for pleasure.

SATAN'S USE OF SEX IN THIS WORLD:-

Satan has used sex in this world to destroy the God-designed sanctity of marriage, working through people's desires, insecurities and ignorance. There are many different reasons people have sex at a young age. Boys and girls may have sex because society promotes it as normal, fun and exciting. They may have sex to try to heal a relationship or to make up for other problems they are having. They might use sex as a way to get affection or to feel loved and connected to someone. Girls or boys may believe they can keep their boyfriend or girlfriend from leaving them by having sex. And sometimes it is simply the case of trusting the wrong people. Just because someone is a "Christian" or "in the Church," doesn't mean he or she will never pressure you to go further than you want to.
Sadly, some people who have already gone down this road believe they've already messed up and lost their virginity and, therefore, God has no use for them. The damage is done and they can't take it back, they reason, so they might as well keep having sex.
Then there is the much too common excuse: "You have to have sex with this person before you get married to him, so you know if you're ‘compatible' or not." Have you ever kissed someone and been reminded, for one reason or another, of someone else you've kissed? Do you want to be thinking of someone else when you are kissing your spouse?
Satan has made it almost impossible to remain pure in this world. He has given us the illusion that sex equals love, that everything we see in the movies—all the hype that surrounds sex—is true. The constant barrage of pornography in our world today is often too enticing for curious boys and girls. These images demean sex and desensitize watchers to the real effects of premarital sex. In 1 John 2:16
 it tells us that the lust of the flesh, what Satan is constantly trying to get us to go after, is not of the Father but of this hurting and damaged world.

GOD'S PURPOSE FOR SEX:-

Is this what God wants for us? Surely not! The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor." Ephesians 5:5 adds, "For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God."God intended sex to be a union of two lives into one (Genesis 2:24), uniting with Him in a covenant bond, not something to be treated lightly. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." God intended sex to be a wonderful experience shared between a husband and wife.

The book Song of Solomon shows us that God views sex as a right, wonderful and beautiful intimacy between two people, but only in the right context, which is marriage. When you have sex with someone, you "own" a part of that person. It is God's intention that this only happen within the loving commitment of marriage.
