In order to balance out the influence that society and social circles have on our view of sex/sexuality we must look to God’s Word (the Bible) to see what the inventor of sex and sexuality says about what He created. God has set a standard for us… not to withhold what is good, but rather to enhance what is good so that it can be GREAT!
God created human beings… male and female (Genesis 1:27; 5:1-2)
Our sexual distinction was for the purpose of:
1.Procreation (baby-making!) Genesis 1:28
2.Pleasure (Song of Solomon)
3.Unity / Intimacy (Genesis 2:21-24)
What God created was GOOD! - - (Genesis 2:25)
… And we messed it up -- (Genesis 3:6-11)
shame & pain
So how do we fix it? Go back to God’s plan:
Man & Woman –
Marriage – (Heb. 13:4)
Honor God – (1 Cor. 6:12-20; 1 Thess. 4:3-7)
"For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life." 1 Thess. 4:7
