最好的礼物
His Best for You
我亲爱的弟兄，你们既是常顺服的，不但我在你们那里，就是我如今不在你们那里，更是顺服的，就当恐惧战兢，作成你们得救的功夫。
——腓2:12
. . . do the good things that result from being saved, obeying God . . .
—Philippians 2:12 (TLB)
与年青人交流过的人都比较了解放纵的性行为会带来怎样的毁坏性。无一例外，放纵行为已经成为一种身体上、精神上和人格上的癌症。并且牵涉到很多无辜的受害者，如父母，祖父母，朋友，老师等，你无法理解他们的担忧，他们只希望你一切安好，没有什么比不幸的婚姻更伤害他们，多年来累积的智慧充分说明婚前性行为是错误的决定。
圣经告诉我们神造男造女，并且创造了性，圣经写道“神看着一切所造的都甚好”。这包括男人女人之间自然的性吸引。因此，性不是罪，而是神赐给人类的礼物，是为了繁衍后代，为了享受婚姻关系，以及履行夫妻之间的承诺。
It takes no poll for those of us who have communicated with young people to know the devastation that permissive sexual activity generally causes. It becomes a cancer in the bodies and minds and characters of those who indulge, almost without exception. And there are other victims, such innocent bystanders as parents, grandparents, old family friends, teachers, and advisers, all much more concerned than you can understand. They want only the best for you. Anything less than a happy marital voyage gives them pain. The wisdom of their years says that premarital relations are always a mistake.
The Bible teaches that God created sex. He made “male and female.” Then it says, “God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.” This included the natural sexual attraction between the man and woman He had created. Therefore, sex is not sin! It is God’s gift to the human race. It is for procreation; for enjoyment within the bonds of matrimony; for the fulfillment of married love.
