It doesn't work that way. Jesus paid for our sins so that when we ask God for forgiveness, we can simply be forgiven. However, we have to truly regret the sin that we committed, and actively try not to commit that sin again. Christians can't just do whatever they want with the thought that "God'll just forgive me for it so I'll do whatever I want." Jesus payed for forgiveness. In the Old Testament, sinners were punished, and had to pay the price for their own sins. Jesus paid for our sins in advance.
Sex before marriage is wrong because sex is a gift from God to a husband and wife. The gift is meant to strengthen and maintain the unity and intimacy of marriage, not just to reproduce. It's a marital need in that a husband and wife may lose their connection and their love for each other resulting in divorce without it. Sex before marriage tarnishes this wonderful gift that God has provided, making it meaningless.

Jesus didn't pay for our sins so that we could sin at will, he did it so that when we sin we can be forgiven. Sex isn't the only thing forbidden; it is just as bad as any other sin. Sin is sin.... yes we will be forgiven through confession and prayer, but don't try to sin just because you will be forgiven. Take your example, your friend may have said he would pay for what ever you want, but that doesn't mean that you should pick out the most expensive item. Don't take advantage of the blessings you have been given.

Ok, He paid for all of our sins up to that point. We must ask forgiveness today and hope God forgives us. If we could do anything we wanted, then why did He spend all that time preaching? Why didn't didn't He just tell everyone to do as they pleased cause they were all going to be forgiven when He died? Because thats not how it worked! He died so we could all go to Heaven! If He didn't die, all the people who had pleased God would have gone to Limbo. Not Heaven.
And sex before marriage is immoral. You are not married to that person. If you want the proper explanation go ask your local pastor or reverend. He can give you many good reasons not to.

definite, weddings surpassed off interior the bible. If each wedding ceremony became defined, diverse or maybe point out think of how long the bible could be. maximum folk won't/do no longer make an effort to study it now. the only thank you to advance right into a husband and spouse became via marriage. the recent testomony tells of ways Jesus became water into wine at a marriage. If there have been no weddings there could be no distiction between adultery and fornication. single intercourse whether out of love or lust is faulty and is a sin! God hates it yet He loves us that's why He facilitates us to repent and He forgives us. definite, i'm a sinner.

Jesus paid for our sins so we don't have to sacrifice a blemishless animal. I don't know the specifics, but its in the Old Testament. You think that if he already paid for our sins that we have and will commit, then why do we have to worry about sinning. If you really do in fact follow God then you wouldn't want to sin. Sinning takes you farther away from God.

hehe nice question
Jesus wasn't a Saviour of sins.
He was a Saviour of sinners. To save them from what?
sinning!
there is a part to forgive that which is done. but the fact that he died to forgive means that... we should not be sinning at all.
To receive forgiveness is to repent.
If I dont repent, it means that I dont really think I am sinning.
To think that Im not really sinning, yet ask for forgiveness of my sins, it is
absurd
an insult
receive imaginary forgiveness
Think of it in terms of relationships.
We forgive a person, so that the person can have a second chance, to do that which is right. To fully put the forgiveness of sins in technical terms and then using it to justify our sins will not do. Our very conscience will condemn us, which, as the Bible says " our spirit bears witness with His Spirit".
God's laws are not defective as if some controversial points that are in our civil government which can be debated from error to truth.

Christ's sacrifice did not remove our responsibility for our own actions. It only provided a way that we could be forgiven for our wrong choices providing we were willing to forsake them and change our lives.
When we sin we incur a debt that we can not repay because we are imperfect. Christ being perfect was able to pay the debt on our behalf but on condition. We must accept his sacrifice for us and follow him. We must keep his commandments and endure to the end. If we are not willing to accept these conditions then Christ's sacrifice does not pay for our debt. The debt is paid on conditions of repentance. If we continue to sin then we are not repentant and will have to pay the debt ourselves.

I am not Christian but I have an idea about this subject: Jesus was an human messenger (prophet) of God, Not son Of God Not send for Our sins He was sent for bringing message fom God, like any other prophet, His mission was that. And he fullfilled his duty well but people at that time refused to accept and even lissen the message He brought, and They try to kill him I AM SORRY BUT THE CORE OF THE RELIGION IS THAT EVERY ONE OF US CAME TO THIS WORLD TRANSIENTLY, LIFE IS AN EXAM WE WILL SEE THE RESULTS IN THE HEREAFTER So like any other exam, every one will have their own exam results, of course no body else can exchange our exam results All the best : )

I believe that it is all up to your interpretation of the text...My personal advice is to ask the lord for guidance...everyone else has their own belief. I will say that one thing nobody's brought up yet is the idea of free-determination...we sin, we are allowed to sin, as long as we repent...the flesh is weak, etc. Jesus died for our right to sin, he died as a sign to us that his father, our lord, loved us so much that he would allow his only child to die just to keep us safe. Allow God to order your steps, and remember that temptation is the work of the devil.
p.s.-if you are comfortable having sex with someone who you love, and would want to marry, then do so...read what the bible says about love first though.

if that was right than your assumption has to be ok...............but it's not like that.....no one on earth has been granted such a provision.....if such a provision would've existed than remember this world will become a brothel,a place full of corruption,and humans will turn into animals where the rule would be MIGHT IS RIGHT...........
if that would've been the case than concept of doing good will diminish from world...and believfe you me i would've been the biggest sinner around without any fear of the judgement day.............
whereas in actual all humans will be answerable b4 God about their complete deeds,good and bad, on the day of judgement........
Jesus was not a sacrifice for us.......he was a messenger of God..........
