He created those hormones within us that made the oppose sex appealing to us. Sex as God intended is beautiful. Nothing that God ever created could be otherwise!
The sex drive is not sinful but God tells us that we are to control this desire.
The sex drive can be compared to the hunger drive. It is not a sin to be hungry but it is a sin to steal food to satisfy our hunger. Likewise,the sex drive in itself is not sinful but it is a sin to satisfy it the wrong way.
We must know that we can deny the sex drive without suffering any harmful effects whatsoever.
The sex drive is different from the hunger drive in that you cannot survive very long without eating but you can deny the sex drive indefinitely without any ill effects.
We must know that sex is never an emergency..
God has given us certain rules or commandments to protect this wonderful gift of sex.
* Do not cause others to sin and do not let others cause you to sin.
It is a sin for a man to lust after a woman in his heart and it is likewise a sin on the woman's part to deliberately dress and act in a way so as to cause a man to lust.
*Avoid fornication
Now the body is not for fornication,but,every sin a man does is without( outside) the body but he that commits fornication,sins against his own body.
I Corin 6:13,18
Avoid things which stir up lust.
Flee also youth lust II Tim 2:22
Sex binds two people into becoming one.
This oneness is more than simply physical oneness. It is a union of two people_ body,soul and spirit.
Sex is a wonderful gift of God but you can blow it on momentary pleasure and reap the bitter harvest of your wrong-doing, or you can wait for the time and enjoy it to the fullest over the long period of time.
Never sacrifice the long term benefits of sex for the short thrills.
It is not easy to be patient_ we want thrills now. It is not easy to gaurd your affections. It is not easy to deny your sexual appetite but God's way is the best even if it seems as though those in the world are enjoying sex outside marriage
Just as you cannot walk in fiery coals and not be burned,so you cannot continually seek and submit to sexual stimulation and not sin
And again I say to us,flee youthful lust.
Lust may look harmless but it is a deadly enemy.
The proof of your love for someone is not sex but 1 Corin 13
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
1 Corinthians 13:3-7
