Premarital Sex Is Harlotry To God

De 22:20 "But if the thing is true, and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman,

21 "then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house. So you shall put away the evil from among you.

The essence of harlotry is sex without the commitment of marriage. Some prostitutes engage in sex for money, others may do it because of sinful lust. The bottom line: It is sex without the commitment of marriage.

Premarital sex is a serious, serious sin. It incurred the death penalty in Israel. It is disgraceful, evil and a scandal that the men in the city are to rise against it. Judgment awaits you if you are guilty of this, reader. To God, you may not be selling your body for money, but the fact remains that to God, you are a prostitute.

Turn to Him in repentance and trust in the Savior that He sent to die for your prostitution against Him. He died for your crimes and rose again from the dead.
