What does the Bible say?
Honest questions about everyday life — forgiveness, family, purity, work and more — answered from Scripture with grace and truth.
#Purity & relationshipsWhat does the Bible say about sex before marriage?
God designed sex as a gift for the covenant of marriage. Purity is a pursuit — and grace meets us there.
Scripture presents sex as God's good gift within the covenant of marriage (Hebrews 13:4) and calls us to flee sexual immorality, because our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). "It is God's will that you should be sanctified" — learning to control our bodies in holiness and honour (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If you have fallen short, there is no condemnation for those in Christ. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive" (1 John 1:9).
