The origin of sex is rooted in the creation narrative, where God created male and female and blessed their union. <a href="/genesis/1-27.htm">Genesis 1:27-28</a> states, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.'" Purpose of Sex The primary purposes of sex, according to Scripture, are procreation, the expression of love and unity between husband and wife, and the enjoyment of physical intimacy. In <a href="/genesis/2-24.htm">Genesis 2:24</a> , it is written, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." This "one flesh" union signifies the deep, intimate bond that sex fosters within marriage. Sexual Morality The Bible provides clear guidelines regarding sexual morality, emphasizing that sexual relations are to be confined within the marriage covenant. <a href="/hebrews/13-4.htm">Hebrews 13:4</a> declares, "Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." Sexual immorality, which includes adultery, fornication, and other forms of illicit sexual behavior, is consistently condemned throughout Scripture. Adultery and Fornication Adultery, defined as sexual relations between a married person and someone who is not their spouse, is explicitly prohibited in the Ten Commandments: "You shall not commit adultery" (<a href="/exodus/20-14.htm">Exodus 20:14</a>). Fornication, or sexual relations outside of marriage, is also condemned. <a href="/1_corinthians/6-18.htm">1 Corinthians 6:18</a> advises, "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body." Sexual Purity Believers are called to maintain sexual purity, which involves abstaining from sexual immorality and honoring God with their bodies. <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:3-5</a> instructs, "For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God." Marriage as the Proper Context for Sex The Bible consistently upholds marriage as the proper context for sexual relations. In <a href="/1_corinthians/7-2.htm">1 Corinthians 7:2</a> , Paul writes, "But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." This underscores the importance of marriage as the exclusive setting for sexual intimacy. Consequences of Sexual Sin The Bible warns of both spiritual and physical consequences for engaging in sexual sin. <a href="/proverbs/6-32.htm">Proverbs 6:32</a> states, "He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself." Sexual sin is seen as a violation of God's design and can lead to personal and relational harm. Redemption and Forgiveness Despite the seriousness of sexual sin, the Bible offers redemption and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. 1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a> assures believers, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This promise of forgiveness extends to all who repent and seek to align their lives with God's standards. Conclusion The biblical perspective on sex is one of reverence and sanctity, emphasizing its role within the marriage covenant and its significance in God's design for human relationships. Through adherence to biblical principles, believers are encouraged to honor God with their bodies and maintain purity in their sexual conduct.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/genesis/2-24.htm">Genesis 2:24</a> Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
