The Bible, Gender, and Sexuality | Being Human

Ben Hixson, Campus Pastor

Biblical Principles on Gender Identity:

1. All humans are made in the image of God.

2. Humans are embodied, by design.

3. Sexual Binary is God’s good design.

Your body is good evidence of God’s good design for your gender.

Biblical Principles on Sexuality:

1. Same-sex sexual activity is not an act to be celebrated but a sin to be forgiven

2. The Bible condemns all sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.

God’s standard is holy sexuality: chastity in singleness and faithfulness in heterosexual marriage

We must have Compassion for People’s Stories AND Conviction for People’s Sake
