Sex Matthew 19:5-6

This post discusses what the Bible says about sex.

Sex began when God instituted the first marriage just after creating Eve. Jesus quoted what God said at that time when replying to a query about divorce, Matthew 19:5-6. “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?”  So, when God called for ‘one flesh,’ He made this intimate relationship a part of the human marriage experience.

Also, the writer of Hebrews shows that God always meant for sexual activity to occur only in marriage, Hebrews 13:4 “Let marriage … held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed… undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” So, the judgment of God falls on those who have sexual relations outside of marriage.

Further, God regulated sex in marriage, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5. “But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another…” Thus, both the man and the woman in a marriage sacrifice their ‘rights’ in order to please their partner.

Also, nothing dirty or sinful occurs in sexual activity in marriage. In fact, the Apostle Paul used the body to show that we belong to God, I Corinthians 6:19-20. “… do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.”

Thus, we must confine sexual relations to our marriages, and thereby glorify God.

So, what did we learn?

1.God instituted sex in marriage.

2.Sex should occur only in marriage.

3.Our bodies must always glorify God.
