Growing Sexually Mature - 2
The
magnificence and uniqueness of the scripture is that it contains answers to all
of life’s questions. No other book in human history has been written by 40 men
(from “every walk of life”: kings, peasants, prophets, philosophers, fishermen,
poets, doctors, statesmen) over a span of about 1,600 years, with all 66 of its
individual “books” linked to one central message crossing from Old testament into
the New with its beginning Genesis flowing into its concluding Revelation (or
its Revelation flowing into its Genesis).
The
scriptures of the Bible come alive every time they are read; and every time you
need a friend, the word of God becomes a Comforter. When folks stop criticizing and actually
begin to want to understand our life’s manual—the Bible, the revelation becomes
clear that this is a book of love to every soul in every nation as it was meant
to be from its genesis. That is why the Bible is the most widely read Book
globally. And it’s available to
practically all mankind via its translation in over 690 languages.
How
awesome a privilege it is to hear the “symphony” of the Bible. It not only strings
melody to its expository, but also sings in psalms, rings wisdom in proverbs,
shines light in the gospels, and brings salvation to mankind. As a “manual” is printed for every machine
man-made on earth, so, too, comes the human being with our “book of operating
instructions”. When we understand the
contents of the Bible fully, then everything else can be seen in whole, not in
parts.
The
Bible beams light on our path as we pursue our exploration toward sexual
maturity. We shall first delve into how we grow into our sexuality. Sexuality is about your sexual
feelings, thoughts, attractions, and behaviors as they relate towards other
people as well as how they are expressed by you. Sexuality is beautiful and
personal because it is an important part of who you are.
The
first trek involves exploring the earth-man in us.
Sixteen
(16) nutrients (elements) are essential for living organisms in the soil,
nine (9) which are called macronutrients: carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H),
nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K), calcium (C), magnesium (Mg),
Sulphur (S); and seven (7) which are called micronutrients: iron (Fe), zinc
(Zn), manganese (Mn), boron (B), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and chlorine
(Cl)3.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being (Genesis 2:7).
The
point: All humanity has one common irrefutable bond—an earth-body, blood, and
the breath of life.
The
Bible also confirms that God made all men from one blood and spread us out over
all the earth: And He has made from one blood every nation
of men to dwell on all the face of the earth . . . (Acts
17:26). We are all connected by our
blood which carries the life of man.
Our
humanity is one connected link designed by the divine mastermind of God; and we
are formed in His image and given His breath of a divine nature—all human beings
were created to have an intimate relationship with the Supreme Being
because it is by Him that we live and move and have our being . . .
for we are also His offspring (Acts 17:28). This was the original plan of God: to be in
close communion with His creation, both male and female.
