The truth about sex

Sex is a gift of God which-like any of his other gifts-can become something destructive and twisted when we misuse it or use it selfishly. And when we do misuse it, it can become something dirty and shameful. But when we understand why God gave us this awesome gift of sex, and when we use it in accordance with his will, then it can be a source of great happiness and joy.
Why did God give us sex? The most obvious reason is to continue the human race from one generation to another. God told Adam and eve, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). God also gave us the sexual relationship for our pleasure. There is nothing wrong with this as long as our passions do not control or dominate us- and God delights in giving us good things. Sex is also an expression of love and unity between husband and wife. It is a sign of their commitment to each other in the bonds of marriage.
This, incidentally, is why the bible tells us that sex is to be practiced only within marriage. The sexual relationship should be a sign in commitment and love – the kind of commitment that is part of the marriage vow of two people to each other. “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral” (Hebrews 13:4).
