LOVE LIES Sex is Just Physical/Shameful 6.12.22 License – everything is permissible License leads us to the lie that sex is just physical Legalism – nothing is permissible Legalism leads us to the lie that sex is shameful What is one of the primary tactics of the enemy? To distort what God has created as good and beautiful. Because of sin, our passions and desires for sex are often distorted. Instead of seeing sex as a giving of oneself to someone else, our sinful hearts want to use sex for selfishness, not self-giving. Genesis 1:26-28 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.  Genesis
