Christians should have the best sex. I hesitate even writing those words because I know the reaction I might get. Our culture’s idea of sexuality is so twisted that Christians often react to the opposite extreme. An unhealthy sexuality so permeates our culture that our reaction to any discussion of sex is to put our hands over our ears. But God created us and He created us as sexual beings. And though sin has corrupted our sexuality, through Christ we can be redeemed, fully redeemed. Jesus transforms even our sexuality. Through the life-changing work of Christ, human sexuality can be restored to the way God intended it. First, God intended sexuality to be expressed according to His design. God created a man and then the woman to be his partner, thus creating the first marriage (Gen. 2:23-25). Marriage is one man and one woman joining together and that unity is demonstrated by sexual intimacy. God designed sex for marriage between a man and a woman. So, second, God intends each of us to save our sexuality for our (future?) mates (Prov. 5:15-17, I Cor. 7:4). Our bodies belong to our spouses, so there is no place for lust, pornography, or promiscuity. To be intimate with someone other than your spouse is to take something from your spouse and give it away to a stranger. Your body belongs (or will one day belong) to someone else, do you want to give them something dirty and used? Your sexuality is not to be shared, it is not public material – it is your spouses alone. Third, God intends us to practice sexuality in healthy, pure ways. Sexual purity is good for you. But sexual impurity is “against your own body,” harmful for your body (I Cor. 6:18). Sexual sin ravages your body, your mind, and your emotions. Your body is God’s - you are responsible for it and you’ve got to take care of it. Fourth, God intends us to respect the sexuality of others. The Scriptures prohibit us from wronging or taking advantage of a brother or sister (I Thess. 4:3-6). Provocative dress can cause a brother to stumble. Pornography objectifies a sister. Premarital sex wrongs a future spouse. Instead, the Scriptures command us to treat each other as brothers and sisters, with “absolute purity” (I Tim. 5:1b-2). Imagine how that would change a young adult’s dating habits! We are responsible for the well-being of others, so we must respect their purity. God wants Christians to have the best sex possible… sex God’s way. So now that you know what I’m talking about here, you can take your hands away from your child’s eyes.
