Physical and emotional closeness between a boy and girl is like a drug. The more you get, the more you want. You need increasing levels of activity to bring the same pleasure. When the initial thrill of holding hands wears off, the couple rekindles it with a kiss. When one kiss no longer satisfies, they kiss longer, deeper. Prolonged kissing leads to caressing the body and heavy petting. Once the momentum is underway, it is difficult to slow down or stop. If the couple keeps reaching for a high, they will end up having sex.
Another reason kids get involved in premarital sex—and stay involved—is because they can’t get enough of the thrill. They become addicted to the kissing, the petting and finally the sexual intercourse. It’s like a powerful freight train going downhill: Once you get it started, it’s takes powerful brakes to get it stopped. But when the relationship is based mainly on sexual gratification, the couple will soon hit a painful ceiling.
Some Christians at my college challenged me to prove that the Bible was not accurate. As a skeptic, I spent 2 years trying to do this, and concluded that the Bible that we have today describes accurately what was said and done 2000 years ago. When I then read the Bible, I saw that God wanted a personal relationship with me. I want you to see that God also wants a personal relationship with you, one that you can depend upon in your life.
