saving sex for marriage

“Not in the Bible?”
I recently heard this on a Christian vlog.. "saving sex for marriage" is not in the Bible.

confusion
skepticism
for real?
these things all going through my head

I grew up in church, I understand that Purity Culture is a bit too crazy in some points (i'll do another blog post on this topic).... but...

Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. God will judge as guilty those who take pare in sexual sins."
This is one reason that everyone surrounding a couple should ALSO keep them accountable, and help them stay pure until they are husband and wife, and then also, staying pure to each other. 

Song of Solomon, MULTIPLE times, says "Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desire." 
This doesn't say when YOU so desire. We have a sin nature. Our love/physical/emotional desires are of the flesh. The devil leads the flesh. 
Please remember that the Spirit lives in your soul, and that voice will NEVER tell you it's ok to have sex or be intimate with someone outside of the bond of marriage. 
These are the words of David, a man after God's own heart (meaning, pure and remaining sexual and intimate with his one wife).

This website has amazing information and insights!

Hebrews 13:4  says, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

If you are a believer in God, you will be judged by him for having sex outside of marriage, whether it be before you are married, or while you're married and being with someone else.

The Bible definitely teaches and states that having sex before marriage and outside of marriage is sinful.

So no, just because it doesn't specifically say "saving sex for marriage" because that's more of a modern saying, does not mean that Bible doesn't say the same thing. SPECIFICALLY

If you're reading this blog post and you're not a believer in God, there are also many reasons just physically, emotionally, and many other ways that you should only have one sex partner for life.
