The Bible teaches us in First Corinthians 6:18 to flee sexual immorality. God is not a "Grinch" trying to steal all the fun out of your teenage years.

He wants to protect you and prepare you for a wonderful marriage relationship where sexuality will have its perfect place.
Here are six reasons to say "no" until then:

1. You will close the door on sin and its destructive nature.
   
2. The thought of raising a baby while you are a teenager will never enter your mind.
   
3. You will never have a doctor tell you that you've contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
   
4. Your friends and classmates will never see compromise in your life that will cause them to talk behind your back and lose respect for who you are.
   
5. God will be able to trust you with His very best as you give Him your best.
   
6. You will never have to deal with "ghosts of relationships past" in your marriage relationship.
