Read Genesis 1-2
We are living in a day and age where many are saying that there are no gender roles or even a need for distinguishing genders. We want to look at what does God think about that by looking at what God’s Word says about it. First lets tackle the need or lack there of to identify genders. Whoever decided that this needs to be a philosophy of our day and age never looked at the Bible. In Genesis it is clear that God created man and woman. God was very specific in creating man and woman and giving them that distinction. However we must make it clear that both are created in the image of God. That means that man and woman are equally significant to God. One gender is not greater than the other. But it is clear that God has created two genders. This is important because as we begin to identify the roles of each gender we must understand that God sees us either as male or female. To throw out the significance of genders is to through out the significance of God’s creation and thus nullify the importance of roles. Which by the way is the agenda of those who are calling for a genderless society.
Father thank you for creating us in your image; help us to understand the significance of your creation.
