Creation, Calvary
And Coitus
Love is a living principle and,
like
all living things, love is either living and growing, or it is dead.
In order for love to live and to grow, it must have objects upon which to shower its
loving attentions. No doubt this is one good reason why God created life, that
He would have creatures to love - that His love
might live and grow.
It was in the interests of love,
therefore, that
God set an endless universe in an eternal framework, that the growth of His love might never be limited by space
or by time. Thus God ensured that His endless love could reach an endless
universe in an endless timeframe - and this that His love might never stop living and growing.
Creation, therefore, must
undoubtedly have been a high experience for God. How delighted He must have been
to have new creatures to love and to care for.
Being a God of love, the King of
Love determined that His creatures should share in the delights of creation -
and so He ordained that His creation would be perpetuated through procreation -
through the giving of a man and a woman to each other in love - and this that
they, and He, might have children to love - that love
might continue to live and grow.
It was a holy God, therefore, who
ordained that life after creation would be conceived at the moment of love's most intimate and
most ecstatic experience. And it was thus that God ensured that every new life would
come into the world nestled and nurtured in the cradle of love. What a beautiful
plan to provide love with objects to love - that love might continue to live and to grow.
Could we say, therefore, that
sexual intercourse is a type of creation? Could we go so far as to say that the
pleasure associated with sex is typical of the joy that God experienced
at creation? Most minds will recoil at the thought, but this is only because we
have been schooled into associating sex with filth and lust, when in truth sex
is a most sacred act. Sex is the cradle that God handcrafted for the continuance
of life. After all, every one of us is the product of sex. If not for sex, not
one of us would exist.
Sex, therefore, is something very sacred
and very wonderful - it is something that is extremely beautiful - something that originated in the mind of
a holy God. In truth, sex is a holy act that should most certainly cast our minds back to
creation, to the joy and the deep sense of satisfaction that God felt when He
created Adam and Eve, when He "saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very
good." So
yes, we would venture to say that sexual intercourse is a type of creation. Is
that not why sex and the life that it spawns is referred to as procreation?
The table below certainly confirms the point.
Through creation, therefore, God
made life, and through coitus or sex God provided for the continuation of life.
On this planet, however, we threw
ourselves
out of the arms of God's love, and we thus became subject to death. Yet, true to form, Infinite Love
turned tragedy into triumph. God gave His life, in love, that we might live and
grow in the shadow of His love, and in so
doing He gave the universe the ultimate demonstration of love. Where sin should
have ended in death, love stepped onto its most elevated and glorified platform
- and this that love might continue to live and to grow.
All praise to God, therefore, for
creation, for Calvary, and for coitus (sex) - for these are His primary
contributions in the interest of life - that love might continue to live and to grow
throughout eternity.
Creation |
Calvary |
Coitus |
God gave us life |
God gave us His life |
God gave us the ability to procreate life |
The Father brought forth sons and daughters |
Faith brings forth sons and daughters |
Sexual Intercourse brings forth sons and daughters |
Out of
Love, physical and spiritual life was born. |
Out of love, spiritual life is
reborn. |
Out of
love, physical life is born |
It was out of God’s need to be
loved that He gave us life |
It was out of God’s need to be
loved that He gave us His life |
It is out of our need to be loved that
we give ourselves to our partners |
As an expression of His
love, God created life |
At the moment of love’s highest expression,
eternal life was secured |
At the moment of love’s highest expression, life
is conceived |
God enjoyed the ecstasy
of creation knowing full well that agony would follow |
For the ecstasy of living with us
forever, Jesus endured the agony of the cross |
Life is born out of ecstasy and
agony. |
God duplicated Himself |
God destroyed Himself |
We duplicate ourselves |
I am an expression of my heavenly Father’s love |
My spiritual life is an expression of
my heavenly Father’s
love |
I am an expression of my mother and father’s love |

Closing Thoughts:
¤ If coitus
is a type of creation, is it any wonder that Satan has worked with fiendish
zeal to turn the loving moment out of which our lives are conceived into a
lustful moment of selfish gratification - to turn life-giving love into
life-destroying lust?
¤ If sexual intercourse is a type
of, and an expression of God’s creative power, how dare we enter into
sexual relationships that are not sanctified by Him? How dare we venture into a sacred
act that could result in a new life being spawned in loveless lust?
¤ In the interests
of mammon, men, prompted by the powers of evil, have robbed sex of its beauty
and its sacredness, and they have turned God's beautiful creative act into an
instrument of destruction. Proof, once more, that we cannot serve God and
mammon.
