    Slide 13:Marriage Intimacy

    Before making people God said: Then he looked at what he had done, and it was good. Genesis 1:25 (CEV)

    Slide 14:Marriage Intimacy

    After God finished making people He said: “Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures." So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women… God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good! Genesis 1:26 - 27, 31 (CEV)

    THE BODY IS GOOD! It is the place on earth where God’s Spirit lives 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIRV) We worship God with our bodies Romans 12:1 (NIRV) We give thanks for its ability to enjoy pleasure 1 Timothy 4:4-5 (NIRV)

    Slide 16:Everything God created is good.

    The Holy Spirit clearly says that in the last days some people will leave the faith. They will follow spirits that will fool them. They will believe things that demons will teach them. Teachings like those come from liars who pretend to be what they are not. Their sense of what is right and wrong has been burned as if with a hot iron.

    Slide 20:Marriage Intimacy

    Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Romans 6:12-13 (NLT)

    Each of us has one body with many parts. And these parts do not all have the same purpose. So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts. Romans 12:4-5 (NIRV)
