I've been sexually immoral

Vieve View Post
I have not been Christian all my life. It is only since meeting my boyfriend over a year ago that I have started practicing Christianity and learning more and more. Though, the entire relationship with my boyfriend, we've been sexually active.
Stop (Eph 4:28).
Him and I have both been with other people before we met each other. Since knowing the Lord more and more recently, every day I am feel I am cast into this shadow of shame.
1 Jn 1:9
I wish almost every day that my family was Christian growing up so that I could've saved myself for my husband. I feel so tainted and unworthy.
If you are in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Co 5:17).
I know I have a choice to have that relationship, and I really want it. I am just extremely nervous on how to tell this young man I'm dating that I want to stop having sex.
Are you old compared to him? A cougar?
He identifies as Christian. He is the reason I started knowing the Lord. I pray for courage and the words to say almost every day. I pray that his response will be positive and that he will embrace it with me.
Christians do not live lives habitually in sin (1 Jn 3:9). He’s a liar (1 Jn 2:4).
…I feel like this is a safe space and I honestly just need encouragement and prayer.
You’ve spent enough time being mastered by your feelings (Lk 6:46). Do right. Risk the consequences.

God forgives and He forgets!
This promise is not for you: As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us (Ps 103:12).

God forgives men when they repent not before (Acts 2:37, 38). Yours is a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-12, Jud 4).

Zip it!
Should fornicators repent? :smokie: Acts 2:37, 38
God forgives you when you ask...
Without your: turning (Acts 9:35), repenting (Acts 8:22) and returning (1 Sam. 7:3)?

Do not mix my words and yours.
I quote you exactly (Eph 4:14).
God forgives when you ask.
Yours (2 Pe 2:1) is a false gospel (Gal. 1:6-12) which excludes repentance (Acts 2:37, 38).

[Proverbs 28:13]
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy [Prov. 28:13].

"This is a great proverb. It seems a common practice today for Christians to try to cover their sins. You will find in the average church that there is a Band–Aid of silence wrapped over the cancer of sin. People don’t like to talk about it; in fact, they don’t admit its existence. They like to think they are very good. But we are told here, “But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” And we have the New Testament version of this in 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This does not refer to a public confession of sin; confession is between you and the Lord, and sin should be dealt with. Trying to appear sinless before your little group of friends is a big mistake. If you confess and forsake your sin, you shall have mercy. How wonderful!" McGee, J. V. (1991).

[2 Peter 3:9]
Praise God--he is longsuffering.

Enyart is a fine servant of the Lord (Eph 4:14).
