Importance of Biblical View on Gender
Jesus endorsed the Genesis view that humans were created as male and female. This establishes the Christian perspective that marriage is between a man and a woman. Any deviation from this is considered a distortion of God's creation order.
Consequences of Defying God's Law
Going against God's laws leads to individuals being given over to their own desires and facing the consequences. The defiance of God's laws not only affects individuals but also influences others to follow a similar path, creating a normalization of rebellion against God's order.
Many people are rejecting the teaching in Genesis about the boundaries of marriage and gender. But Jesus didn't reject it. Today, Sinclair Ferguson shows that Christ's way is the only way for God's image-bearers to flourish.
