To start with, masturbation is self service by which one derives pleasure; it’s a sexual stimulation of the genitals, usually to the point of orgasm. So the question: Is it sinful for a child of God to masturbate? The sincere and simple answer is that, it is biblically sinful based on these three points:
(1) IT’S DISHONORING YOUR BODY.
Pastors and preachers who claim that masturbation is not a sin are the same people who say a godly woman can dress any how; their base is that God’s is not concern about what you do with your body, watch out!
Such teaching of your body is not God’s business is satanic and unbiblical. Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Your heart is the throne of God, and your body is His temple; when you defile God’s temple – your body – with masturbation or any uncleanness, you expose yourself to God’s destruction.
(2) IT’S SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Any action by which one derives sexual pleasure – orgasm – apart from, between husband and wife, such is sexual immorality. There are several sexual immoralities like fornication, adultery, masturbation, homosexuality, etc. Those who involve in masturbation before or after marriage are immoral people before God. 1 Corinthians 5:9, “I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.”
(3) IT’S A SECRET SIN
Any habit you like to do in secret which you don’t want people to have the knowledge that you are doing is a secret sin, and masturbation is part of it, it’s something usually done in secret, after you dedicate your life to Jesus. You can’t have fellow children of God in the same room and you begin to masturbate. You can sleep or snore while people are around, but you can’t masturbate while good and godly people are around.
NO PRETENSE!
You can’t finish masturbate and you feel free in God’s presence, your conscience will tell you something is wrong, that you are defiled. If you now feel no quilt in masturbating, it means you have silenced or killed your conscience, since the Spirit of God will not continue to strive with a man, but you know it wasn’t like that at the initial.
