What if we aren't virgins?

[humbleservant86]

I admit that I made a horrible mistake a year ago and lost my viginity. I feel horrible about it now though (now that I know what I've really done). Has anyone else dealt with this and, if so, how?

Don't dwell on it! If you are sorry, then God has forgave you!

 

[humbleservant86]

Well I haven't been dwelling on it the whole year, I just realized what it really meant.

What do you think it means?

Everyone sins. You just have to repent. As long as you feel apologetic and ask God for forgiveness, then you can let it go. Don't dwell on it, because at that point the only one punishing you for a past sin is you.

Just don't start going around having casual sex, then thinking all you have to do is pray for forgiveness and then go out and do it again.

Now that we have done something outside the biblical mold for marriage we essentially will go into marriage "shot in the leg" having experienced something that we shouldnt have. I too lament this fact but we need to forget the past and press on to the goal.

I just asked for forgiveness, the strength to handle the tempation, and took one day at a time. Try doing a Bible study about it. Most of all know you are not alone.

So are you saying that by being "shot in the leg" marriage won't work?

What do you think it means?

Well I know understand that it is something God intended to happen within marriage.

Not at all. Being shot in the leg is not a mortal wound, but it is a wound nonetheless. We have really jaded ourselves out of experienceing the fullness that the marriage experience could be. However, God repairs all wounds and his grace abounds. I long for marriage very much and one day, I am sure I will have a wife who will appreciate and love me more than I can know. I just wish I waited for her.

Ah, I see what you're saying.

God loves you though! Smile and know He loves you.

God loves you though! Smile and know He loves you.

Amen. You are first and foremost His Bride.

God can make you a spiritual virgin again. I travelled down the road of sexual addiction and the only thing that lies on that path is misery. I heard a youth pastor say this once. "Sex before marriage will do one of two things. It will keep a bad relationship together and it will tear a good one apart." I've experienced both sides of that spectrum and I can attest that it's true.

Just take heart and like someone said, don't dwell on it. Let nothing inside that could possibly cause a spark of remembrance to be entertained. Satan thrives in the past, God thrives in the now. Look to Him now, and you will be fine.

 

[JPPT1974]

If you committed sexual sin and weren't a Christian then. But are now, you can ask and God will make you a virgin again. And make sure that you do it the right way. He can make you whole and clean again. And yes, He does forgive you all of your sexual sins.

So how do I know if He's made me a virgin again?

Go forward and don't look back.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

[humbleservant86]

Go forward and don't look back.

I'm working on it.
