Personhood – Man and Woman in God’s Plan

“Personhood is not a characteristic of man or woman but what they are.” The authors of the Birds and the Bees broke this concept into three items:

1. We are made in the image and likeness of God.
2. Our body is good.
3. We are to be fully functioning man and woman in God’s plan.

So, let’s get into it, shall we… We are made in the image and likeness of God. We have all heard this statement over and over and all around. However, do we truly understand and appreciate that our body is an incredible sign of God’s love for us and the world?

If you take the time to look all around you, what do you see? Different colours, forms, and features. Each person designed uniquely and lovingly by God’s hand to be a gift to others, to fit with another. We are part of creation and this is good! So why not celebrate this notion that we are made in God’s image and likeness by facilitating the virtues that make us, us.
