“God, the Creator of Sexuality”
As God was wrapping up the creation, he saw that it was not
good for man to be alone, so he created man’s perfect counterpart; woman. We find in the Garden of Eden the origin and
example of sexual intimacy as God designed it. We have within our God given genetic makeup
a longing for physical contact and fulfillment. Sexuality has, and will always
be, a hot topic issue among us because it is the core of the existence of
humanity. There have always been avenues and opportunities for people to gather
an understanding about what sexuality and marital intimacy are all about. In today’s world, with the rise of
technology being at our fingertips, it is easier to find that information now more
than ever. The problem lays in that most
of that information offers an inaccurate description of what God had originally
intended. We must be careful not to fall
into the trap of allowing ourselves, or our children’s understanding of
sexuality, to come from a source outside of God. That may be the reason God
placed the book of Song of Solomon within our Bibles. The book describes sexuality in the way that
God originally intended for it to be, between a man and woman. Written by King Solomon, the Song of Solomon
is a wedding song. It’s a celebration of the freedom and intimacy between a
husband and wife.
God’s intent for sex was nothing
like the self-gratifying, casual exchange we see on TV and among friends. Sex,
as God designed it, is a holy union illustrated perfectly in these ongoing
conversations between a husband and wife. As you study it, I pray that it
offers you an understanding of God’s design for man and woman.
