Big Idea: In Christ you become most fully yourself. 

Me must make the shift from a societal sexual ethic to a sanctified sexual ethic.  

Two Ways our Identity in Christ Shapes our Sexuality 

1. We place God’s Authority over the Sovereignty of Self. (4:1-2)  

Your identity is established by who God says you are and your self-worth comes from being found in Christ as an adopted son or daughter.  

2. We see sexuality as an opportunity for spiritual formation and to avoid cultural deformation (4:3-6) 

Sexuality according to God finds its perfect fulfillment only in a covenant marriage relationship between one man and one woman or in celibate singleness.  

Christian sexuality is based on four pillars.  

1. Sex is pointing to a greater reality 
2. Sex points us to a wholistic integration of personhood  
3. Sex is tied to our transformation  
4. Our sexual ethic is a witness to the world. 

Next step:  

Reflect: if my primary identity is as adopted, redeemed and sealed in Christ, how will I pursue sexual wholeness?
