As a teenager girl can someone give me scripture on sex and dating. Im just a new believer and trying to deal with teen problems. COVIC preventing bible studies with my peers.
Thank you Diana for coming here to enquire about this important subject: many are not so careful in this matter & suffer much hurt. We won't learn about 'dating' in the Bible because in eastern cultures, particularly in those early days, dating wasn't acceptable nor done; so a girl or boy remained single, chaste, living in the family home & at the appropriate time a partner was found for them. As it is today also, however in the West we would frown upon such a system, but I find there can be a balance.
As a new believer, you will want to please the Lord in your life as well as keep your mind & body devoted to Him. I'm unsure what specific problems you're having now, but I share what I feel should be the pattern for Christian young people. As a young person, your primary focus should be on your studies (if at school), or on developing your career, & just knowing that you may have a lot of maturing to do before properly handling (serious) relationships.
Many young people, particularly girls, get caught in traps that hurt them, or spoils them, & leaving permanent scars. Girls are quite vulnerable & some boys take advantage of this. And this becomes even more evident when mixing with boys that are not Christians, who may have values & an upbringing that don't fall in line with the Bible. But if you meet with a Christian youth group, then you can really get to know each other & make lasting friendships, which may lead to the Lord providing you someone from there. Don't be in a rush to date, even if other girls are doing so - remember you want to hear & be led of God to the right person in His time. And if on a date, go somewhere or do things together that don't put you in a difficult compromising position; i.e. have others around you. And sex is a no-no. Preserve the body the Lord has given you for the young man that He will give you one day. On your wedding night, you both will appreciate your mutual fidelity & singular love for each other. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20.
