Why PURITY is so important for a WOMAN

Why PURITY is so important for a woman

The Lord has laid this subject heavy on my heart the last few weeks.
And there are two questions I want to answer in this blog.

There are few women out their who have kept their purity in our society, and I want to answer the why? And why it’s so important to hold fast to your purity as a woman.

For those of us who have grown up in the church, we are always told “no sex, no sex, no sex”…But why is it not fully addressed is the reason why, or what is considered sexual impurity? So as adolescences we are left to decide what our borders are on the subject, and to tell our screaming flesh “no” just because it’s wrong.

How many teenagers do you know (including yourself at this age) that don’t have an immediate rebellion towards being told not to do something? It seems to sometimes spark an interest or even cause curiosity. So how can we get across to our teens the consequences that will effect them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually?

The Lord gives his children these guideline to save them from devastating lifelong effects.
1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

And anyone can resist temptation, or any situation that presents itself to them.
1 Corinthians 6:12
[ Sexual Immorality ] "Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything.
1 Peter 5:9
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

As women we should value our worth. Men are attracted to women with confidence, and what a way to show confidence by thinking so highly of yourself to not allow any man to "have you". To know you are a cherished gem that should be pursued and won over before you give up your virtue.

A man will not respect a girl that gives herself to him sexually before marriage because he quickly gained the prize with no effort to win it! And he will feel no challenge in committing to her because she so easily gave herself away. So of what worth or value is she compared to every other woman out there? What separates her from the crowd? What entices him or captivates him to want her for his partner for the rest of his life? As women, we must give our men something to fight for!

In Bringing up girls by Doctor James Dobson QUOTES: "A woman should let the man be the initiator. That is the way he is made." A man needs a challenge ladies.

He also states "If she wants him to be a gentleman, she should require him to act like one, and she should always remember she is a lady." Girls that means he should be the one pursuing you, calling you, asking you out, paying for the dates. Not the other way around. Our society is crippling it's men!

Dobson says later: "If a woman wants a man to marry her, she MUST NOT make herself available sexually. That wrecks a relationship. Besides, it is morally wrong. Under no circumstances should she live with a guy before marriage. She will probably end up getting hurt or living with regret. He will get what he wants, she will get nothing. The number one reason men give for marrying late or not at all is because they can get everything they want--including love and sex--without commitment. A moral self-respecting woman simply will NOT PLAY THIS GAME. If it becomes obvious that a guy is not going to commit, she should send him packing. Period! There is something better out there for you IF you set your standards high."

I can't help but think of so many wonderful women out there who can't find a man to commit to them. Could it be that their lack of sexual purity plays a major role?

As I stated before, there are many consequences of sexual immorality. It is not just another rule from God. It is for our safety, our sanity, and well being.

Joyce Meyer reported at a conference not long ago that there are now over 19 million new STDS showing up every year. But beyond the physical consequences of sex out of marriage, what about the emotional scars that last a lifetime?
When a woman has sex with a man, she opens herself up to him and is emotionally attached. She becomes vulnerable. She gives herself to him out of love. A love that should be saved for her husband. A cherished moment that should be given only in marriage to make that relationship different than all the rest each individual had before coming together in a lifelong commitment.

Sex is rampant in our society. Maybe it's time we all stepped out of comfort zones and stop worrying about offending others and speak the truth in love. These are your daughters, your family, or friends. Don't you want the best for them?

Proverbs 14:25
A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful.
John 3:21
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
1 John 1:6
If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Ephesians 4:15
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
