Caring Enough to Confront - A Biblical Perspective of Sex and Sexuality, Part 2


Listen Later

Did you know that God created sex? He designed it so you could experience closeness and intimacy with your spouse. But in this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy laments the brokenness and immorality that has marred this beautiful gift from our Creator. Discover how, despite the ways sin has distorted human sexuality, God’s redemptive and good purposes for sex are still active today.

Main Points
Introduction: As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth. -John 1:14, 8:31-32

Core principles:

  1. All humans as designed by God, are sexual beings. -Genesis 1:27-28
  2. Sex, as designed by God, is very good. -Genesis 1:31a
  3. The human body is very important to God. -Genesis 2:7-8, 21-22
  4. All of us were made for relationships and companionship. -Genesis 2:18
  5. God’s design for sex is a man and a woman in a lifetime commitment of marriage. -Genesis 2:24-25; Mark 10:6-9
  6. Human sexuality was impacted and distorted by sin. -Genesis 3:7-11
  7. Redemption in Christ brings forgiveness and healing to every area of our lives, including our sexuality. -1 Corinthians 6:9-11
  8. God’s good purposes for sex are still fully in place today.

    Four reasons God gave us sex (by Bruce Miller):

    1. Sex is a celebration of the marriage covenant. -Matthew 19:5-6; 1 Corinthians 6:16
    2. Sex is for pleasure between husband and wife. -Proverbs 5:18-19
    3. Sex is for the procreation of children. -Genesis 4:1; Psalm 127:3
    4. Sex is a celebration of God’s loyal love to us. -Ephesians 5:31-32
    5. As Christians, our bodies are not our own to do with as we please. -1 Corinthians 6:18-20

      A husband and wife have sexual responsibilities to each other in marriage. -1 Corinthians 7:3-6

      A committed relationship and/or cohabitation are not the same as marriage in God’s design. -1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 36

      According to God’s good design, sex will be surpassedin the New Creation. -Matthew 22:29-30; Revelation 21:3-5
