GENESIS

LEADERSHIP ISSUES

gg2: Male and Female

GENESIS 1 :27

Importantly, maleness an<l femalenes, preceded the mtroducnon of sm 111
the worl<l. The <l1nne Crt'ator son-reignly defined our gender even as He
formed us in the ,,·omb (P,. 139:13). With our gender also came our sex­
uality with potennal for ble,,ing or pam.
As He has in ocher areas of hfc, our creator God has defined within Scrip­
ture the boundaries for sexual expression. As with our words, thoughts,
and attitudes, a good God ha, given us guidance that we might avoid pain
and multiply blessmg. He loves us and cares for us as His children. Sexual­
ity is God's gift that calls for stewardship and accountability, not misuse,
abuse, or defrauding. God calls us to place our sexuality under the lord­
ship ofChmt to maintain its purity and divine purpose (I Cor. 6:11-20).
Pause to consider chat your body 1s the "temple of the Holy Spirit": ask
God to teach you all that this means, and pray for His Spirit to protect
and empower you to be faithful to Hun.
