Waiting
Dear Waiting,
It is always sinful for people to lay with one another outside of marriage (1 Cor 7:1-4). Sex outside of marriage is called ‘fornication’ – it is sinful and will bring you into judgment. Marriage is a sacred institution, and the marriage bed is to be held in honor and left undefiled (Heb 13:4). Sexual morality is very important, and we are warned that fornication puts the soul in jeopardy (Rev 21:8).
