Now to encourage us to respect His moral code, God has fixed it so that we end up suffering consequences when we go beyond the limits He has set for us. God says that our legal spouse is the only one we should be having sex with. He then fixes it so that if we sleep around, we end up suffering all kinds of negative consequences. Not only has God invented a whole crop of nasty diseases which can only be spread through intercourse, but He’s also come up with psychological and emotional consequences for sleeping around. Why do we get that “used rag” feeling as we build up a history of one night stands? Why does sex become less and less pleasurable the more partners we have? These are all ways that God motivates us to get back in alignment with Him. We don’t get to just do whatever we want down here. God tells us what we ought to be doing, and if we blow Him off, He makes us sorry.
