I am a devout Christian, so I figure I should throw my two cents in here.

I will never understand why most people equate Christianity with a list of rules. In the Old Testament, God handed down the Law to Moses and that indeed was a list of rules. At that time, the way to atone for these sins was through sacrificial shedding of blood.

When Jesus was sent to Earth, He was sent as the ultimate sacrifice, so that all sins were paid in full, if you just accepted Him for who He was.

Now as for the original question, why do you need clarification from a bunch of people on the internet? Being a Christian means you are supposed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You desire to do what is pleasing to Him. The Bible does state that sex is a gift from God in marriage, and it seems that you believe that to a point since you are feeling a sort of guilt or unsure-ity(that's not a word I suppose). If you consider yourself a Christian, pray about it. Ask the only one who will give you your answer. You believe that God loves and cares for you, so why would he not answer your question?

I know someone here can try and point out places where they think I am wrong in this, but all I am simply saying is that you believe that Jesus is your Savior and that you should live your life for Him right? So ask Him how He wants you to live your life.

My wife and I waited to have sex until marriage and are extremely happy we did. My advice to you is to pray about it.
