THE PURPOSE OF SEX AND LOVE
Matthew 19:5
"For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and they two shall be one flesh."

Matthew 19:5 (MSG)
He answered, “Haven’t you read in your
Bible that the Creator originally made man
and woman for each other, male and
female? And because of this, a man leaves
father and mother and is firmly bonded to
his wife, becoming one flesh—no longer
two bodies but one. Because God created
this organic union of the two sexes, no one
should desecrate his art by cutting them
apart.”

Sex is an earthly symbol
of a great many things
that are precious and sacred to God,
as shown to us in the Bible.

Marriage is the symbol
of some of the deep
and lovely truths of Scripture.

She naturally looks to her husband
to protect her from injury,
insult and want.

Their reputation and interests
become one;
what affects her character
or reputation
affects his.

The Lord Jesus is the perfect picture of
the faithful husband; His true Church,
every real disciple of Jesus, is the
perfect pattern of His loving wife as
we see in
1 Corinthians 18:20

Likewise, a Christian family is the earthly
pattern of God's longing for a heavenly
family of sons and daughters to rule
and reign with Him.

In its God-designed place, sexual love is
the most beautiful relationship on
earth.
Because God made sex in human beings
such a special relationship, He set
definite differences between animal
and human sexual drives.

Sex was given to us for two main
physical reasons:
1.To keep our race going on by men
and women together bringing
children into the world (Psalm 127:3-5)

Sex was given to us for two main
physical reasons:
2.As a source of deep spiritual and
physical pleasure between a
husband and wife
(Matthew 19:4-6; Genesis 2:24-25;
24:67; Ecclesiastes 9:9;
1 Corinthians 7:2-5)

Proverbs 5:1-14
‘Dear friend, pay close attention to this,
my wisdom; listen very closely to the
way I see it. Then you’ll acquire a taste
for good sense; what I tell you will
keep you out of trouble…

Proverbs 5:1-14
…The lips of a seductive woman are oh so
sweet, her soft words are oh so smooth.
But it won’t be long before she’s gravel in
your mouth, a pain in your gut, a wound
in your heart. She’s dancing down the
primrose path to Death; she’s headed
straight for Hell and taking you with her.
She hasn’t a clue about Real Life, about
who she is or where she’s going…

Proverbs 5:1-14
…So, my friend, listen closely; don’t treat
my words casually. Keep your distance
from such a woman; absolutely stay out
of her neighborhood. You don’t want to
squander your wonderful life, to waste
your precious life among the
hardhearted. Why should you allow
strangers to take advantage of you?
Why be exploited by those who care

Proverbs 5:1-14
…You don’t want to end your life full of
regrets, nothing but sin and bones,
Saying, “Oh, why didn’t I do what they
told me? Why did I reject a disciplined
life? Why didn’t I listen to my mentors,
or take my teachers seriously? My life
is ruined! I haven’t one blessed thing to
show for my life!”

Proverbs 5:17-20
Your spring water is for you and you only,
not to be passed around among strangers.
Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy
the wife you married as a young man!
Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose—
don’t ever quit taking delight in her body.
Never take her love for granted! Why
would you trade enduring intimacies for
cheap thrills with a whore? For dalliance
with a promiscuous stranger?

The Bible does not teach us to hate sex, to
consider it an unpleasant but necessary
duty- that is basically evil that must be
done in order to keep the world going.

Only in the Bible is sex placed in its
proper, lovely place.

Winkie Pratney,
‘What happens in essence is that each
one makes a little emotional home in
the other's heart, a place where they
can let down all their guards and
barriers and be really honest and
trusting with each other like little
children.’

Winkie Pratney,
‘It is the way God has given us to show
our love in the deepest possible
physical way, to build a bridge of love
that is not only the joining of two
bodies in the most profound of
pleasures, but the joining of two souls
in a bond of happiness that will only be
surpassed by heaven itself.’

Sexual love,
God's way, God's time,
is one of God's highest blessings.

WHAT WILL KEEP US
FROM SEXUAL SINS?
1.Reverence and respect for God

Genesis 39:8-10 (MSG)
He wouldn’t do it. He said to his master’s
wife, “Look, with me here, my master
doesn’t give a second thought to
anything that goes on here—he’s put
me in charge of everything he owns.
He treats me as an equal. The only
thing he hasn’t turned over to me is
you. You’re his wife, after all! How
could I violate his trust and sin against

Genesis 39:8-10 (MSG)
…She pestered him day after day after
day, but he stood his ground. He
refused to go to bed with her.

WHAT WILL KEEP US
FROM SEXUAL SINS?
1.Reverence and respect for God
2.Respect and love for others
3.Respect and love for my life

Psalm 51
‘Generous in love—God, give grace!
Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad
record. Scrub away my guilt, soak out
my sins in your laundry. I know how
bad I’ve been; my sins are staring me
down. You’re the One I’ve violated, and
you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent
of my evil. You have all the facts before
you; whatever you decide about me is

Psalm 51
…I’ve been out of step with you for a
long time, in the wrong since before I
was born. What you’re after is truth
from the inside out. Enter me, then;
conceive a new, true life. Soak me in
your laundry and I’ll come out clean,
scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white
life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,
set these once-broken bones to

Psalm 51
…Don’t look too close for blemishes, give
me a clean bill of health. God, make a
fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week
from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw
me out with the trash, or fail to
breathe holiness in me. Bring me back
from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my
sails! Give me a job teaching rebels
your ways so the lost can find their

Psalm 51
…Commute my death sentence, God, my
salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to
your life-giving ways. Unbutton my
lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your
praise. Going through the motions
doesn’t please you, a flawless
performance is nothing to you. I
learned God-worship when my pride
was shattered…

Psalm 51
…Heart-shattered lives ready for love
don’t for a moment escape God’s
notice. Make Zion the place you delight
in, repair Jerusalem’s broken-down
walls. Then you’ll get real worship from
us, acts of worship small and large,
Including all the bulls they can heave
onto your altar!
