Is It Okay To Live Together Out Of Wedlock? |

The answer can be summed up in one word -- disobedience. The Bible clearly teaches God’s objections to fornication (illicit sexual intercourse) - See: Romans 1:28; I Corinthians 6:13, 18; 7:2; 10:8; II Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3. Why does God object? Because He created us and knows what is best for us. He knows that being in an intimate relationship with someone without the commitment will be difficult on us spiritually, as well as emotionally and physically. I have enclosed an article Pastor Hayford wrote entitled, "Why Sex Sins Are Worse Than Others." God’s will for our lives is outlined in Jeremiah 29:11 and Luke 12:32. In the Book of Joshua we are instructed to live according to God’s Word, and as we do, "...for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.... Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." |
