Gender and sexuality

Although our sex, and its purpose in marriage and procreation, is embedded in our creation and written into every cell of our body, pop culture says you can change ‘gender’ in pursuit of ‘your true self’. Likewise, ‘sexual orientation’ is viewed by many as the centre of their identity, even claiming it is ‘harmful’ not to act on it. God sent his Son to restore us from this and every other way in which sin has ruined us. The Bible teaches us to rediscover our true created identity – our real ‘true selves’ – in Christ. Revd Matthew Roberts.
