Are we really living the way Christ wants ?

 This will be my first blog post and I wanted to write about a topic I think is important. I hope someone will get some needed information from it.

Are We Living for Christ?

We all know that to make it to Heaven we must be saved by Jesus Christ. Repent of our sin and walk away from it. But some people seem to think that just because they said a little prayer and asked Christ to come into their hearts that they are good to go. I'm here to tell you that isn't the case at all.

The typical thing that happens is that people say that prayer and then continue sinning afterwards thinking the entire time that they are good to go. They accept Christ but never walk away from sin. Here's an example; I know people who accept Christ in their hearts but still gamble and live with a person and have sex out of wed lock. This sin is called fornication. 

There's a difference between slipping up and then quickly repenting and resolving it, and just thinking God will give us a pass on these kinds of things because we accepted Christ. The important thing to remember is that along with becoming saved, we must repent of our sin and WALK AWAY from it.

Another thing I wanted to touch base on is people's lifestyles and how it relates to sin. Here's an example; I know a couple who aren't married but live their lives as if they are, and they know this man who cheats on his wife. This couple scold the cheating man all the time for what he does. But they never stop to think that they are sinning just as much as he is by sleeping with one another out of wed lock. They were being hypocritical and didn't even know it. The only kind of sex that's allowed by God is that between a married man and woman.

Don't be one of these people who sit in a church pew every Sunday, but the other six days go to the casino, and curse and sleep around with people. God wants full custody, not just weekend visits.

There are several reasons why saving sex for marriage is important from a Godly perspective. First, it is seen as a way to honor and respect God's commandments and design for human relationships. By waiting until marriage to engage in sexual activity, individuals can demonstrate their commitment to their faith and to the principles of purity and fidelity.

Second, saving sex for marriage is viewed as a way to cultivate healthy and fulfilling relationships. By building emotional intimacy and trust with a partner before engaging in sexual activity, couples can establish a strong foundation for a lasting and meaningful marriage.

Third, saving sex for marriage is seen as a way to avoid the potential harms and negative consequences of premarital sex, such as unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, emotional distress, and damaged self-esteem.

I hope my two cents brought some understanding to some people out there.
