How YOU reveal God's glory

The glory of the LORD shall be seen by all mankind together.  The LORD has spoken.  It shall be.
Isaiah the prophet (Paraphrased in song.)

Man is the image and glory of God; woman is the glory of man.  Paul the apostle.

If you are a man, you are the glory of God; if you are a woman, you are the glory of God's glory. 
This is reality.  Masculinity and femininity reveal God's glory and the glory of God's glory. 

In this day and age, your manhood and womanhood are divine callings. You reveal Christ and His eternal bride.  You reveal a glimpse of the union between God the Father and God the Son. 

Embrace your masculinity and femininity for God's glory.  Refuse to allow a redefinition of your masculine and feminine natures.  Be a man.  Be a woman.  Be like Christ.  Be like His bride.

Your bodies reveal God's glory and the glory of God's glory.  Treat them as temples of God, and each part of your bodies as instruments and weapons of righteousness, as Paul the apostle said.  If you are a man, do what only a man can--let your facial hair grow; if you are a woman, let your softness show.  Give your sexuality to your wife or your husband only.  If you are unmarried, be faithful sons and daughters, brothers and sisters.  Whatever state you are in as men and women, you know how you are masculine and feminine outside and in.  Be this and only this.  And the glory of the LORD shall be seen by all mankind together.  The LORD has spoken.  It shall be.
