Moral Purity

Moral purity is a matter of abstaining, I'm going to use Rebecca and Isaac from the Holy Bible as a case study. The very hour Rebecca knew Isaac to be her Fiance; she took veil and covered herself. This is a sign of moral uprightness and purity. Rebecca was an ideal Palestine girl who cherished purity. Her action clearly showed that she is from a godly home and adhered strictly to the teachings of her parents. Rebecca would not allow herself to be put in a family way outside marriage. She would not allow herself to be caught so cheaply. She covered herself. 

These days we find it hard to see girls who are still virgins, they will be like "who virginity help", don't forget that the best gift a woman can think of giving to her husband, is her "virginity". Some girls lose it because of peanuts, some lose theirs because of a popular phone, and now that the latest one is out, I wonder what they will loose (maybe their kidney), vanity upon vanity. Some became single mothers, and now they are regretting, they are battered. Singles should learn to abstain from sex during courtship.

This is not only about the girls, guys too can also keep their virginity, if you are feeling the urge get married, as a guy don't pressurise her to go against her will, let her keep her virginity till the night of her wedding, that's what she want, so pls respect that. 

At the time of courtship both parties need to show that they are godly people from godly Church, serving God who cherishes godliness. During courtship, the fiancee should behave like Rebecca. She should learn to cover herself up before her fiance. She should not expose the sensitive part of her body to her fiance. As a sister, you should not allow your fiance to see your nakedness until the wedding night. 

Sex outside marriage is a culture of the gentiles. It is not a Christian culture. The following precautions will help both of you:

• Avoid exposing any of the sensitive parts of your body, because men are instantly and sexually charged by sight, yes, men are moved by what they see. 
• Avoid touching vital areas and needless suggestive body contact, because men are sexually aroused through the acts. 
• Avoid kissing, caressing and hugging because they are direct invitation to fornication. 
• Avoid feeding each other with spoon, because the act is exclusively reserved for husband and wife. You are not yet a couple. Take note, that act itself is sinful. 
  
• Avoid visiting each other with the purpose of spending the night when you know the person is living alone. 
• Avoid visiting each other without the company of a trusted friend. This is not an old school theology, but a precautionary measure to help you from falling into temptation. 
• Avoid amorous look and talk that could lead into touching the forbidden 'fruit'. That could be dangerous! 
• Avoid giving and accepting Greek and unquestionable gifts because it could lead to an 'ungodly demand', be wise. 
• Avoid frequent and late night visit because it could court irresistible and unsolicited temptation. 
• Avoid eating and sleeping together because you are not yet husband and wife. 
• As a brother, you should not make any attempt to uncover the nakedness of your fiancee. Flee youthful lust. Don't make any attempt to kiss caress or touch the breast of your fiancee. 

These ten pieces of advice or commandments are not old school theology, but divine tips to help you. Don't be on haste to lick the hot soup in order to avoid a blistered tongue. Don't be wise in your own eyes. The rate at which youths are falling in this 'ditch' (sexual temptations) these days during courtship is too high for comfort. 

The reason is that our singles, maybe even you, often think that these precautions are old fashioned ways of life and are irrelevant to modern day setting. Please, sir and ma, if you love yourself, take Heed to what I'm passing to you through this article. 

Another fact you must know is that, sexual temptation is higher during courtship than those that are yet to be engaged, because the devil will make you to believe that there is nothing wrong since you have promised to marry each other. 

He will send human agents like friends, parents, and even the so-called ministers of God to convince you in variance to God's and biblical injunctions. Yet, amidst all these, the Bible remains our standard. The Bible says "flee fornication"
