For the real people who say, "Life is a game, play it," the game called 'Cohabitation' is foul-play and takes away all the fun in their real game of life. While it is commonly believed that 'cohabitation' is acceptable in the west but not in other places, the truth is bitter. Even in those places where it is socially not accepted, people are 'living together', but classified under fornication, adultery, being unfaithful, cheating and harlotry. While people may extract fun out of a so-called 'socially accepted' practice, the consequences are the same and human life is not very different in different cultures when it comes to moral living and ethical practices. Giving an immoral act a sweet 'friendly' name doesn't make it moral. So also, the game called cohabitation is as stinking and as unacceptable as the classifications mentioned above - everywhere alike.

Humans Beings Called to Higher Lifestyle

If one is willing to live life as a human being, there must be something of superior nature to those beings who have not the sixth sense. Just because the metabolism of humans are much like those of the other beings, to live like one of those beings in all matters would make a man inhuman and inconsiderate. The call to be a human being is higher than the call of a savage or beastly lifestyle. God made man for a higher purpose - if being among immoral people beats the purpose, the end would be like the Biblical days of Noah and of Sodom and Gomorrah - total wash out and destruction by fire.

Purity Under Pressure

More and more people are tempted by people living immoral lives around them and who justify their deeds as 'civilization' or 'better lifestyle'. But the real concept of a man living with an unmarried woman 'like a' spouse is as debasing as living with a 'call girl'. That summarizes the worth of the woman who agrees to live with a man who is not in position to 'commit' to her. The same is true from the woman's side for the man. If losing your self-worth and self-respect is not disgusting to you, 'cohabitation' may not sound an abuse to you. However, we human beings are supposed to be committed and faithful to one 'wedded' spouse and anything outside of that is illicit affair or cheating.

Whom Are You Cheating?

People think that they can cheat other people and call themselves 'smart'; and there are those who think they can outsmart God. The end result is bitter. Whereas the plan was to cheat others, you cheat yourself and make a mess of your own life. Unholy living is the way to hell. Careless living leads to accidents - affecting not only you, but also others, whose blame would be on you. Fear God and depart from evil. The matter is not just about complicating your life, but about being doomed forever in eternal hell.

Repent While There is Opportunity

There comes a day when you will be judged for every one of your deeds.  Books shall be opened and everything that you ever did would be revealed in broad daylight - no hiding possible.  Everything you did out of ignorance, arrogance, mischief, mistakes, sins, carelessness -- everything would have its reward.  There would be no escape then.

But the good news is that you have hope while you are here.  Repent!  You will be saved.  Lord Jesus Christ has made a way of escape and it is for you to decide - now and here.  If you would repent of your old sinful ways, accept the forgiveness of your sins that the Lord Jesus Christ offers through His sacrifice on the cross, and determine to never commit the sin again, mending your ways to align it with the Word of God, then you would be saved and the judgement will have no ill effect on you.

If you are in a 'living together' relationship now, get married immediately, or depart if you don't want to marry - and do not give place ot sexual immorality.  You will see your life blessed by God.  Now that you are warned, you are no more in ignorance.  Anything more that you do is out of your perfect understanding and hence, you are fully responsible for your sins.  Friend, the Lord has placed eternal life before you and awaits with open arms and a loving heart, yearning to see you come back into His embrace.  Would you now accept His love and say this prayer, surrendering your life to the God of love?

Prayer

Loving Lord Jesus,

I have lived an ignorant and sinful life.  My ways have not been pleasing before Your sight, but I have hurt You by wandering away from Your love.  I repent.  Lord, forgive me and accept me as Your child.  Wash me by the blood that You shed on the cross for my sins.  Cleanse me.  Make me worthy of Your kingdom.  Father, grant me now the wisdom and strength to break away from all the sinful ways and help me to make the right choices in life through Your Holy Spirit.  I surrender my life into Your hands and I believe, You can build me up and make my life wonderful.  From this moment, I am under Your care.  Father, protect me from the vices of the devil and lead me in Your ways.  I thank You for the promise of eternal life to me.  I praise You because now I am saved, and You are my Saviour.

Amen.
