5 Truths About Same-Sex Attraction

Is there something wrong with you if you have same-sex attractions? Does it mean you are in sin or under God’s judgment? Or could it be, as some are claiming today, that God has blessed you with these attractions?

Here are five simple truths about same-sex attractions:

1. Your attractions do not define you. Despite the fact that much is made today of “being gay” or having a gay identity, the reality is that your romantic attractions and sexual desires do not define who you are as a person.

More importantly, if you have surrendered your life to the Lord and are living in obedience to Him, your primary identity is found in being a son or daughter of God.

Many believers struggle when they put gay before Christian in terms of their identity rather than putting Christian (or child of God) first.
