We asked the students to write down any questions they had in their heads about God and faith. One student wrote:
“IF A BABY IS MADE THROUGH AN UNMARRIED COUPLE, IS IT STILL IN GOD’S PLAN BECAUSE GOD’S PLAN WASN’T TO HAVE PREMARITAL SEX, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS HE KNOWS ALL OF US BEFORE WE ARE BORN…SO WAS THE PREMARITAL SEX PLANNED BY GOD?”
I might be missing the point of the question, but what I'm hearing is "Is this child important in the eyes of God or is this child an embarrassment to God." I like stories and I think they are powerful, the Bible is a collection of such powerful stories. To answer this question I would like all to watch the movie BELLA. I think you'll find the answer there. If not, leave a comment and I'll explain further. If you still want a straight forward answer to the student's questions, then highlight the text below:
God foreknew how this child was going to be born. God has two wills - his perfect will of design and the will that he allows and works within a broken world (while still maintaining his goodness and holiness). God is faithful and good and all life is valuable and precious to God. Know that God's will is always that we be married before we have sex.
