Many people do not pride in virginity. But for the few who do and pursue it even abstinence, we can't stop there. We have our work cut out for us and there is more to do. We are not allowing a man or woman come into our space and be that intimate with us. Now, let's try thinking through this with our relationship with God. We were not virgins before we received salvation, we were harlots. Christ came along and we were forgiven, loved, made whole. As we received this grace, we took an oath to be Virgins for HIM by not indulging in sin especially since the grace offered us went beyond forgiveness of sin to the ability to live a victorious life over sin. Sin is the outcome of allowing the devil to have a certain kind of intimacy with us. We allow him to have his way with us and with that comes the fruit of sin.
Virginity in this case is is abstinence from sin and pursuance of holiness as righteous children of a Holy God. Just as we can't allow that man or woman come too close and come in, so must we not allow the devil to come into the life which is Christ's and temper with it. Don't let him in on any level at all. Don't think about the things you can do with him, you give him room and open yourselves up to have him in and take control. Going with your flesh always seems sweeter, surely that's what he would make you think. How is it that you always feel unhappy and devastated after that deed which gave you satisfaction is done but he goes on feeling happy because he got you to hurt God. Just as you always think that you are keeping yourself for the partner God brings into your life, isn't Jesus worth much more, why not keep yourself for HIM and completely away from every form of sin. Grace abounds immensely from a God who loves you to bits.
Abstinence every form of sin is the main goal in our walk with Christ. The bridegroom will be here before we know it.
