The value of virginity - JSS2 Christian Religious Studies Lesson Note

According to the scriptures, the mother of Jesus, Mary preserved her virginity. This enabled God to make use of her. The great lesson for us today is to keep our self, holy and righteous before and after marriage just like Virgin Mary did. This will go a long way to prevent us from contacting STDs, HIV/AID unwanted pregnancy, abortion and death.

The following are some of the values of being a virgin before marriage;

1. It reassures the husband that the girl he is marrying has never been wayward.

2. The person is free from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, candidacies etc.

3. It gives the person the confidence that he/she has none of these diseases before marriage and also prepares the person for God’s use.

4. It prevents the girl from having unwanted pregnancy, abortion and premature death.

5. The person will be free from guilty conscience about virginity.
