As you do the work of pursuing sexual integrity, cultural messages keep watering down God’s heart for you as His creation.
So, let’s pause for a deeper sense of what it means to be a man or to be a woman.
Both the mystery and the glory of being man or being woman have been lost in our society. Christ is inviting you to stop and consider the creation story, the very beginning. You and I were created to be image bearers of God.
Have you considered how your body’s sexuality images God?
Let’s start now.
Highlights:
Sexual integrity means trusting that your body is made for God and not for sexual immorality.
If we’re to become people of sexual integrity then we need to become more emotionally whole.
Your body is designed for God. Whatever it feels in the moment of sexual pleasure, you still can always acknowledge that your body is designed first and foremost for God and for His will, not for sexual immorality.
