Holy Sex

The Bible's view of sexuality is grounded in the Gospel. The heart of sex is a reflection of the permanent, exclusive, covenant that God makes with all who are united to Christ by faith. The revolution of sex is the way the Gospel invariably pulls against parts of the dominant cultural narrative. The power of sex is its ability to either domineer and waste our energy in unfruitful ways – or to deepen the bond of marital love. The weakness of sex is its temporary character in light of eternity and the way its blessings inevitably require sacrifice and "deaths" on the way to resurrection life.
