How Can We Guarantee That God Will Carry Out His Promises

Romans 8:32 is asking us, "He who did not even spare his own Son but delivered him up for us all, why will he not also with him kindly give us all other things?"

As John 3:16 stated, Jehovah God who gave his son; Jesus Christ, because of his love for humans.

Why do they have to do these sacrifices, for Jehovah God to give his son, and for Jesus Christ to die for us?

Romans 3:25 said that through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, Jehovah God was able to forgive our sins, hence save us from death. Since, 1 John 4:9 stressed out that God done all of these because of his love for the world. We might ask, why his only begotten son? This only emphasize that he can also give humans the desires of his heart and he'll be please to give it.

Just like one of his promises written on Revelations 21:3-4 "3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

We might be suffering differently now like death of a love one, injustice, famine, health problems etc. but remember that Jehovah is God of Mercy (Ephesians 2:4) and he cannot lie even before times long lasting (Titus 1:2)

Premarital Sex

Is it OK to have SEX before MARRIAGE?




YES. No big deal. That's how we show our LOVE for each other.
NO. Virginity is the best wedding gift to each other.




Have you thought about this question? Is it a YES or a NO? Does it matter?


It is natural to feel desires when you're in love with someone. Especially teenagers since they are in undergoing  body changes from children to young adults. Plus the peer pressure during these stages are so intense that it's easier to give in than to hold on.


If you're still a virgin, is something wrong with you? Not really. Actually you might feel good and proud of yourself because sometimes it's nice to be different.


WHY?


Having sex out of marriage gives you a 'sudden rush' of happiness but with BITTER AFTER TASTE.



  • You might feel guilty, sinful, maltreated and a failure. Guilty and sinful that you succumbed to this desires. Failed to say "NO" and wait until its the right time.  Maltreated by your partner because you felt that he just "USED" you. Proverbs 5:9 warns us not to give our dignity to others. The truth is there is no LOVE among those who abuse their bodies in sexual activities, all there is is just lust and short-lived self gratification.
  • Unwanted Pregnancy that can also lead to ABORTION. Knowing someone who have sexual relationship without getting pregnant doesn't guarantee you to be safe. The truth is even using birth control will not give you a 100% protection. Pain and regret during abortion is emotionally tiring, read our dedication to the unborn here.
  • Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Of course, you don't have it now, but remember you reap what you saw (Galatians 6:7) so when you does, you will definitely regret it. :3

Sex and Your Morality

Teenagers have a lot of questions and debates about sex. While their bodies are in adjustment periods, they are becoming more aware and interested in SEX.


Some of the questions are:

  • Is it OK to have sex before marriage?
  • How to say "NO" in premarital sex?
  • Masturbation - is it OK?
  • How does my actions reflect my morality?
We are living today in a low-morale world. Pornography is one of the most influential aspect that led many to immoral living. If before one should seek porn on secret places, today, even when children are innocently searching for their assignments, somewhere in the screen pops out a nude porn advertisement. Movies and TV Dramas have sexual scenes. Music have explicit lyrics. Even books are not excluded.

The Bible gives us righteous and practical advises about morality.

1 Corinthians 6:18 - Flee from fornication. Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but he that practices fornication is sinning against his own body.

Yes, the Bible clearly stated that premarital sex is against God's law. You are also sinning against your own body. If you're planning to give in, don't. If you feel that you're already sinking in this quick sand of sin, don't loose hope. You could still make a change. 

By studying the Bible, a person can change personality like dressing up new fresh clothes. (Hebrews 4:12)
"Bible, God's word is alive and exerts power. Sharper than any two-edged sword. It can pierce and divide soul and spirit... It can discern thoughts and intentions of the heart."
