Introduction:

Gen 1:26; 9:6

Man Is Gendered and Embodied (Gen 1:27, 28):

• A Physical Necessity and Biological Reality

For work—Gen 2:15 (2 Thess 3:10; 1 Tim 5:8)

For companionship—Gen 2:18 (Ps 115:9–11)

For fruitful reproduction—Gen 2:19–20, 21–23

As a foundation for society—Gen 2:24–25

• A Gift and Blessing from God as Part of the Image (Gen 1:27)

Gender displays God’s image and trinitarian glory through:

 1) Interpersonal relationship

     John 17:5, 24,  Matt 19:4–6,  Mal 2:15b–16a, Rom 7:2, 1 Cor 6:16, 18–20,

     1 Cor 7:3–5,  Eph 5:22–33

2) Equality of person and value

    1 Cor 11:7–12,  Gal 3:27–28,  John 5:23

3) Diversity of roles (next week…)
