loved.” True Belief: You are loved; God loves you. — Jesus loved you enough to die on the cross for you (John 3:16). — Your heavenly Father loved you enough to adopt you into His family (1 John 3:1). Conclusion: Sex is not love, love is not sex—sex is sex. Love is a commitment seeking the highest and best for another person. Because God loves you in this way, He will give you the ability to develop other loving relationships in which sex is not a substitute for love (1 Corinthians 13:5).
