Day 11: Understanding Gender
God is the author of life. God created both male and female in His image. He created male and female differently, as a reflection of who He is. God made both male and female in His image. To be created in the likeness of God informs our understanding of what it means to be human and the purpose of our existence as male and female. When God created two separate and distinct genders, He also instituted different roles for each gender. He designed men and women to be distinct and different.
