Why is Sex Before Marriage Considered a Sin?
Our culture treats sex as casual, but the Bible calls it a sacred gift from God, designed for marriage (Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 7:3–5). Premarital sex steps outside of God’s will for purity and covenant love (1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:4). Marriage provides the safe, lifelong context where intimacy reflects faithfulness, commitment, and holiness. God’s design protects us—and when followed, sex becomes a beautiful gift that honours Him.
