WHAT IS A HUMAN?
MALE AND FEMALE
Genesis 2:18-25
"So God created man in his own image...male and female he created them"
We can't understand what it means to be human until we look at what it means that human beings are male and female. It's a rich and complex topic, which makes sense given that human are rich and complex. It's also a difficult topic, particularly today. But the Bible gives us an understanding of manhood and womanhood that is realistic, rich, and beautiful. More than that, scripture points fallen men and women like us to redemption and renewal in Jesus Christ.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. How have you experienced the struggle with gender in today's world?
2. Are there ways you find the Bible's description of male and female beautiful? Are there ways you find it challenging?
3. How does the gospel meet the struggles you have with your manhood or womanhood, in your own heart and in the world?
4. Has the church been a place where you experience spiritual fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers, expressing the beauty of male and female?
