Mary was not the only virgin girl in Nazareth, a city in Galilee. There were thousand of virgins, but I think one of the things that figured Mary out is sexual purity.
I know quite well that you will tell me that it is grace that found her which is true.
But we have also failed to realize that she was a virgin who was in a relationship, yet she didn't engage into any premarital sex affairs with her husband to be..
No kissing, no touching, no caressing. She was sexually pure in all round .
They were other virgins in Galilee, but being a virgin doesn't mean being sexually pure . You can be a virgin and be involved with pornography or watching of porn videos etc
If Mary was not sexually pure, listen to me, the grace to carry the saviour of the world in her womb couldn't have located her.
She righteously positioned herself, then when grace located her, she was fit to carry the cross.
How many sisters or brothers would be in a relationship these days and would not like to taste their suitors small?
Sometimes even prophets give vision that the lady must get pregnant before wedding so that she won't be barren after the wedding. You know this is so common in our fold and alot of people believe you need to be pregnant before you marry today .
Sometimes , Marriage counselor will tell couples who are about to marry to know whether they are good on bed or not, and test their sexual compatibility.
If there is any evil arrow Satan has thrown to the church, to kill the church, it is the arrow of sexual immorality!
There is another group that believes it's not possible to see virgin anymore in the church. The moment you talk about premarital sex , people say "grace covers" , who is without sin? And so many lines like these ... Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” (2 Timothy 2:19).
Christmas is fast approaching now when many fire branded brothers and sisters will lose what they have been labouring for all this while on the Altar of immoralities!
May you not be one of them, grace to keep standing will rest on you.
