Male and Female

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27 NKJV)

Human beings are fundamentally and essentially sexual according to the truth of God. From the beginning God made male and female in His image and His likeness. God never changes His mind. In Him, there is no second thought. Why then are we made to be sexual? History proves that sex has changed the world. It is a great and powerful force in humanity. It even endangers at times the civilization on the brink. Although there are a lot of unspeakable dark sides caused by the sexual drive in humanity, God allowed it to run through the generations to generations. Pulling away sex in humanity is like removing all the excitements and enjoyments in life, because there is no better entertainment than that. God risked by allowing this powerful drive in our lives in order to teach us something very significant.

God strictly bounded sexual intercourse only, yes only within the marriage between one man and one woman. God blessed the union of one man and one woman to become one body. By means of sex husband and wife experience exquisite joy and happiness which is possible not only through the physical union, but through the psychological and spiritual one. Whatever happens in physical level is a picture and manifestation of what’s happen in heaven. Sex is the expression of deep seated hunger and thirst for possessing and being possessed each other. God says to His people that we are His treasured possessions (Deuteronomy 17:6). We are not our own but were purchased with the price of the Son’s blood (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We are His possessions and He is ours. God wants to teach us through sex what kind of relationship between God and His children is. God wants His children to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
