Is Gender Even Relevant to the Gospel?

Why should Christians care about gender? Shouldn’t we be more concerned about helping people get to know Jesus?

Getting people saved is indeed the most important thing.

But key to rightly understanding the gospel and living out salvation in Christ is the biblical view of gender.

Being made male and female is essential to our nature as God’s image bearers. Since God is a holy God (i.e. set apart), it’s necessary that his creation and especially those he made to bear his image would likewise by their nature reflect holiness (i.e. “set apartness”).

Ignoring or blurring the lines of separation that God has placed in our bodies as male and female, therefore, is to use our bodies to deny God’s image in us.

This makes gender distinction not only functionally significant, but eternally significant as a reflection of God’s holiness. Gender is core to the Christian faith.
