Question!

[HeatherLynne2755]

I'm new to this! But I'm trying to turn my life around! I'm trying to get rid of these old habits and I need some help!
I lost my virginity about a year ago. I want to know if its possible to get a second chance. I'm dating a guy now that I've never done anything with. Nothing more than a kiss, and I want it to stay that way until I'm married... Can God forgive me and give me another chance at this??

Of course He can--AND WILL!

Virginity, after all, is a state of your heart, not your body, and it is yours for the asking.

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE! (John 8:11)

MAY YOU BE BLESSED!

YES

keep running the race set before you always striving to win the crown

to avoid such things with the current boyfriend, be sure to place some bounderies on getting too physically close because it is easy to go a little further when all the emotions are all hyped up in the moment

well done good and faithful servant

You confessed it and renounced it, right? If you have, God has completely forgiven you. The thing to do is identify where you went wrong before and avoid it. With good communication, of course.

Well, you're a Christian now, therefore, you were born again! Hard to be born without one's virginity. And of course God can forgive you, He already has! And to be quite honest, He has not only forgiven you, but He has forgotten that you ever even sinned. It never happened in His eyes. I wish you all the best on you walk with our Lord Almighty.

God bless

Wonderful answer...but just to clarify - virginity IS a state of your body. Otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it. If it were only a matter of heart, it would't be such a vital issue and losing it wouldn't have warranted death at one time in history. When Joseph thought that Mary had slept with another, he thought to "divorce" her quietly (Matt 1:19.) This is because her heart and her body were defiled.
Having said that - Yes, you are forgiven when you repent and it will be as if it never happened in His eyes. I just don't want any young girl, or woman for that matter, to focus only on the heart and think that their body is inconsequential to this matter. Your body does matter. That's why He calls your body His temple (1 Cor 6:19.)

MY SISTER,

YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN!

yes God can and will forgive you...and you can become what it is called a " born-again virgin"--which is you making a decision to practice celibaby/abstience until you get married even if you might have been sexually active in the past...but as realtionships go...i would encourage you not to do casual dating...or to be in relationships with an unbeliever..find a believer who is also living an abstience lifestyle..this will eliminate unnecessary confusion about where your physical relationship will go..if you are with someone that is on the same accord. God bless
