Sacred by Design

Read this sentence a few times: 

Human beings are the crown of creation. 

What a glorious declaration! Now consider the fact that sexual sin contorts that truth. A building block to sexual integrity is the understanding and appreciation of the inherent value within you and the people around you. 

Recognize God’s ideal representation of Himself is the man you are, is the woman you are because you are sacred by design.

Also, today we are launching “Sacred by Design” a new addition to the Regeneration Ministries podcast family! “Sacred by Design” is hosted by the women on our team for women covering topics like unwanted sexual behaviors, shame, relational healing and more. 

Make sure to Subscribe and Share and Join us every other week as we unwrap the gift of understanding we are Sacred by Design.

Highlights:

It was not good that Adam was alone. It wasn’t enough companionship for Him. It wasn’t accurate representation of God that Adam alone would image Him on the earth. We needed both Adam and Eve, both man and woman. And we need both man and woman today.

Being made in God’s image, humankind can be considered an icon expressing what Yahweh is like, expressing what the One Creator God is like. Man and woman are the expression of that; not man alone or woman alone. Together, both man and woman are the expression of God on the earth.  

Step back and consider with awe the beauty of male and female, the beauty of man and woman and what it means to be man and woman. And the value of both.

Men, when a woman walks into a room, we’re not to idolize her. But there is a sense that if we understood her correctly, if we saw her correctly, if we had eyes to see her as she is designed by God to be that we would want to kneel down in front of her in respect and glory because of how she embodies in this living creature the aspect of the one true God. And vice versa, when a man walks into a room, there ought to be some sense of that.

Sexual sin contorts that we are meant to be the crown of creation by idolizing the body and sex.
