Pastor Gordon continues unpacking the rich understanding introduced in the previous show entitled "Sex and Property", explaining how permitting those two instincts to run wild, without limits, brought creation to ruin and forced God to kill the whole world. The property instinct and the sexual instinct must remain balanced by God's law or else they become destructive. After the world-wide flood, Noah's great grandchildren had incentive to honor the importance of dominion in line with God's law. They knew what Christians uphold today: wealth, prosperity, and power must be tempered by the warning, "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not covet." Sex and fatherhood must be tempered by the warning, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" and "Thou shalt not covet." Abraham came into great wealth, prosperity and power by guarding his life through honesty and integrity in the stewardship of his property instinct. He was the polar opposite of a thief - he was a tither. Yet he was unable to have children. The promise of blessing upon mankind's sexual instinct (created in Genesis 1:28) was unprecedented, so the inability of Abraham and Sarah to participate in it (barrenness) was equally staggering. Despite the fact that the misuse of the sexual instinct could bring a curse beyond comprehension, Sarah's barrenness enticed the couple into sin. Abraham's adulterous act with his mistress, Hagar, resulted in world-wide terrorism still haunting us to this very day. Yet Abraham finally found forgiveness and redemption by putting the principles of John 3:16 in action upside-down, and his willingness to give God his only son born from Sarah became the catalyst of our covenant through Jesus Christ, today. Said another way, "For Abraham so loved God he gave his only son" and "For God so loved the world He gave His only son." Abraham left dysfunctional dominion behind and by finally submitting both his sexual and property instincts, returned to the divine dominion God originally commanded in the Garden of Eden. Are you walking in the kingdom dominion of Christ or dysfunctional dominion of Adam and Eve? Are you a once-born child of Adam or a twice-born child of God? Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus!
