Bible Text: Song of Songs 1-2 | Pastor: Pastor Jim Wood | Series: SAS Chapel: Song of Songs
We should not obsess over our bodies, nor should we forsake the bodies that God has fearfully and wonderfully made. The unique relationship between a husband and a wife is something that is pleasing to God and should be taught to children. The sexual relationship between a husband and a wife is not a conquest. There should only be one husband for one wife. When looking for marriage we need to find someone who wants to protect sexual purity and not just satisfy their own sexual desires. Men should encourage purity in women. Character lasts and Godliness grows, we need to follow the Creators plan.
All of the Bible should be read and understood. Our bodies are beautiful creations of God. We are not all alike but we are all amazing. Sexual desire and pleasure are part of God's plan. The physical union between a husband and wife is also a spiritual union. The context for sex is an inclusive union between one husband and one wife for life. Sex is designed by God to be an expression of love between a man and a woman who are married to each other. Whether or not God wants us to be married, God's plan is perfect for us. We need to be in God's will.
