Characteristics Of True Love & Deliverance from Fornication

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is PATIENT. Love is KIND. It does not ENVY, it does not BOAST, it is not PROUD. It is not RUDE, it is not SELF-SEEKING, it is not EASILY ANGERED, it keeps no record of WRONGS. Love does not delight in EVIL, but rejoices with the TRUTH. It always PROTECTS, always TRUSTS, never HURTS, always PERSERVERES, Love never FAILS !!

Gods word explains to us the characteristics of LOVE. Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion! 1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with ACTIONS and TRUTH.
Many teens, and sometimes adults DO NOT know the definition of love. They use sex as an excuse saying " i LOVE him/her". SEX IS NOT LOVE! Our culture has taught us that sex and love are one in the same- THIS IS A LIE! Sex is actually a beautiful God-given activity that is wonderful when practiced within the boundaries of a Biblical marriage.

Because pre-marital sex is not love, it leads to pain and dissappointment for those who are seeking that love. Pre-marital sex is NOT patient, it is NOT kind, it does NOT protect, it is SELF-SEEKING it is NOT love!!

HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY TRUE LOVE ??

WE CAN ONLY IDENTIFY  TRUE LOVE AND KNOW WHEN WE HAVE FOUND IT BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD, AND WHEN WE ARE HONESTLY PREPARED TO MAKE A LIFE LONG COMMITMENT WITH SOMEONE. ;)

The Bible says is Ephesians 5:31 For this cause (marriage) shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined  unto his wife, and they two shall be ONE flesh.
 
PRE MARITAL SEX IS FORNICATION.

WHAT IS FORNICATION ?

• FORNICATION: Unlawful sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other.
