Sexual Purity for the Single & Married

Christians today have pressing questions about sexual purity. So did the Corinthians, and the Apostle Paul gave them a lot of light, as we will see in the text. Here's our outline:

1. The goodness of abstinence while single
2. The guide for abstinence in marriage
3. The gift of abstinence for life

10 practical steps to stay pure for those single and dating:

1. Make a goal to stay pure until marriage, and avoid anything that would stir up your passions and mess you up.
2. Be careful what you expose your mind to.
3. Stop and remember your body belongs to God and so does the other person.
4. Make a vow not to violate God's standards and ask him to help you keep that vow.
5. Be aware that Jesus goes with you on every date.
6. Talk with your boyfriend or girlfriend before sex becomes an issue and agree on your standards.
7. Don't spend too much time alone with that special person.
8. Have respect for the other person.
9. If you have failed in this area, then make a fresh start immediately by repenting and thanking God that He is a forgiving God and that He will give you a fresh start.
10. Make absolutely sure you are involved with a truly born-again Christian.
