Apparently some people get a lot more out of sex than I do. I enjoy sex for basically one reason: I have a sex drive that creates a craving in me to have sex. If God would remove that sex drive I would be perfectly happy without sex. In fact, loving others and serving others actually brings me more happiness than having sexual relations.

Do these statements have any bearing on the topic?

"It is the privilege of every believer in Christ to possess Christ's nature, a nature far above that which Adam and Eve forfeited by transgression." E.G. White, The Upward Look, p.18.

"The only faith that will benefit us is that which embraces Him as a personal Saviour: which appropriates His merits to ourselves." D.A.347.

"Jesus places His own merits upon man and thus elevates Him in the scales of moral value with God." E.G. White, Our Father Cares, p.121.

"Through the virtue of His merits, He gives us power to become members of the Royal Family, children of the heavenly King." Our Father Cares, p.120.

Now we can better appreciate the meaning of these words:

"Kneeling at the foot of the cross, man has reached the highest place to which he can attain." A.A.210.

Thus, "The voice which spoke to Jesus says to every believing soul, 'This is My beloved child, in whom I am well pleased.'" D.A.113.

Based on 1 Cor.15:44-49.

Not sure what that has to do with this discussion. But perhaps I missed something.
