1. God created only two genders: male and female (1:27) 2. God created these two genders in his image/likeness (1:27) 3. God created these two genders to procreate (1:28) 4. God created these two genders with purpose (1:28) 5. God created these two genders good (1:31) However… Sin disfigures the biology of gender Sin disfigures the understanding of gender Sin disfigures the psychology of gender But… The gospel is the power of God to salvation for all who would believe All of us need the restoring, regenerating, reforming, reviving power of the gospel The gospel promises: pardon, cleansing, change, help, grace, hope! |
