Family and religious pressure, I want to move in with my bf M22 and I’m F25

My bf M22 and I F25 are in a very loving relationship. We’ve been together for 8 months. At first, he wasn’t sure about marriage, but I want marriage, and he said he wants to marry me. I think he was scared of it at first because every past relationship he’s been in he’s gotten cheated on. We’re both Christian and so is our family, so there’s a lot of pressure of traditions and religion going on in my life, at least. His family isn’t as strict about it as mine is. He is talking about getting a house and moving me in and then we get married. We both communicate extremely well and we both love each other very much and we both believe in God. My anxiety with how I’m gonna tell my parents I’m moving in with him is really high. Idk how I’m gonna deliver the message and I know there’s gonna be bad backlash. I’m also trying to see if it’s a good idea. I think I’m scared because I lived with my last partner for a year and I was with them for six years and they didn’t treat me too well. I’m not scared, I’m just trying to be cautious and the religious pressure is starting to drive me insane. I put my whole belief in God and so does he but I hear the Bible says it’s sinful to move in together before marriage. What do you think I should do?
