Rev. Dr. Iosmar Alvarez continues our sermon series “The Bible & Social Issues Today”. In this sermon, we gather to discuss the topic of traditional marriage, he’ll guide us through a reflection based on the Word of God found in Genesis 1:27 and 2:24. These verses clearly outline the divine design for marriage as instituted by God Himself. In Genesis 1:27, we read that "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." This verse highlights the complementary nature of male and female as part of God's perfect plan for creation. It is through the union of man and woman that the image of God is fully reflected.

In this sermon, we come together to reflect on the final belief statement of the Apostle's Creed: the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. These beliefs are foundational to our Christian faith and offer us hope and assurance in God's promises.

Beloved in Christ, today we turn our hearts and minds toward a profound and central truth of our faith—the union of divine and human nature in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord. This understanding is not merely theological speculation; it underscores every aspect of our faith and devotion.
