Is sex outside the bounds of marriage good or bad?

Our culture is filled with couples who prefer to live together prior to marriage or just skip marriage all together, this type of decision is much more serious than a fear of commitment.
Sex outside of marriage and other sexual immoral behavior according to the word of God....

what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality."

Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Sexual sin has a powerful attraction, I know from experience, but it is also an abomination to God. It is clear in scripture that those who's lifestyle is marked by sexual immorality, as well as other abominable acts, are in danger of everlasting torment in Hell.
Please, repent of this wickedness and turn to God before it's too late, He can rescue you from this evil lifestyle but you MUST trust Him to save you because you will be unable to do it alone. Do not expose your bodies to others but honor God above all things. Today is the day of salvation.
Lord, rescue those who call out to You, create in them a clean heart that desires above all things to please You.
