The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

The Purity of Sexual Love and the Impurity of Perversion

There is a sexual love that is good and holy (Gen. 1:27-28; 2:24-25).  There is a purity in the love of the marriage bed that surpasses the perversion of fornication and adultery.  It is a purity found in faith of God and love of one's neighbor.  It is for procreation (Gen. 4:1) and in marriage only (Prov. 5:15-20) and it is an expression of love (Song of Solomon 1:12-15; 3:1-5) and it has mutual responsibility (1 Cor. 7:3-5).

The types of sexual perversion are adultery (Deut. 22:22-29), prostitution (Deut. 23:17), incest (Lev. 18:6-18), homosexual immorality (Rom. 1:26-27) and mankind with beasts (Deut. 27:21).

There is judgement upon those in sexual perversion because they are defiled (Lev. 18:22-28).  The judgement comes upon those who are in sexual perversion as destruction (1 Cor. 5:1-5) and death (Lev. 20:13-16). 

The sexes were created by God for union, helpfulness, procreation and sexual needs.  There is something holy about the marriage bed; that is, it is a pure place to reside in the holiness of marriage.
