MEMORISE: 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
BIBLE READING: Romans 1:26-27
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
MESSAGE:
After God created us in His image, with purpose and intentionality, He gave us the gift of sexuality. In essence, He designed men and women to complement each other in loving relationships that showcase His love and glory. However, sin and perversion came into the world, and human beings began to have desires that strayed from God’s original design.
In Leviticus 18:22 (KJV), the Bible commands: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” That Scripture, along with several others, backs up God’s standard for sexual relationships within the sacred covenant of marriage between a man and a woman. Clearly, God condemns any form of same-sex relationships.
My dear child, if you are developing romantic feelings for someone of your gender, know that the demon of lust is trying to draw you to hell. God did not create you that way, so please seek counsel from a godly counsellor to help you deal with your feelings. You also need to cry to God to deliver you from the demon of lust, and He will hear your cry and destroy such feelings.
KEY POINT:
God frowns upon same-sex relationships.
