GAY TRUTH

Some Christians in this situation will discover an increased self-understanding of heterosexual orientation.  I know couples who have come together as husband and wife after one or both struggled with  same-sex attraction , and who found great fulfillment and joy in the gift of heterosexual marriage and the gift of children. But this should not be  the universal expectation.  Many other believers strive to be faithful to Christ and obey the Word  but experience no heterosexual pattern of sexual arousal . Progressive  sanctification through the Holy Spirit will come for Christians who  experience same-sex attraction, but that does not mean they will become  more heterosexual the more they grow in godliness.  Sanctification leads  us into holiness and out of sin. This is why sanctification may lead  an individual with same-sex attraction into holy celibacy, rather than  heterosexuality.

Forgivable and changeable through Jesus Christ However ungodly and undeserving of heaven any homosexual might be, there is the opportunity to be forgiven, changed, and declared righteous through Jesus Christ. Paul continues in 1 Cor. 6:11 ( HCSB ) to say, “Some of you were like this.”  The Corinthian church evidently contained some former homosexuals who had been converted. Furthermore, Paul adds of them, “But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” The homosexual who repents and believes receives the same cleansing, sanctification , and justification as every other believer who turns from sin to Christ.
