God
gave us the design for marriage, family and for morality in the
beginning.
Mankind’s
initial sin precipitated what we call “the Fall”.
The
consequences of the fall include negative impacts on both nature
and nurture—that is, how we are born and how we are raised.
One
innate tendency of the fall is that people choose to operate
independently of God.
This
has resulted in a multitude of sins including sexual
sins—fornication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, incest,
prostitution, pedophilia, and rape.
Through
common grace and special grace, God has provided by His Word and
His Son both principles for living up to his standards and the
power to live up to them.
There
is indisputable and prolific proof that following God’s moral
principles created healthier individuals, families and societies.
Through
a relationship with God through Christ both our identities and
our lifestyles can be transformed.
