To The Trans Community: A Plea of Love

Your body is not a mistake. The God who created you did so in a fearfully wonderful way! He knit you together in your mother’s womb and your body was not hidden from Him; He knew exactly what He was doing!

God knew the intricacies of your body before it began to take shape! He made you for a purpose and you are infinitely valuable to Him because you were made to reflect His own glory here on Earth! You are His workmanship, created for great works!

But this world has been lying to you. It tells you that God is a myth, that you have no purpose, that your body has betrayed you. These are lies! But Jesus Christ, the very God who created you, can set you free from these lies because He offers the only truth that matters.

We have ALL sinned against our Creator, rebelled against Him and sought to please ourselves instead of seeking Him. Your own confusion is a result of that rebellion and your believing the lies of the world. But you need not feel this way!

While God is indeed angry at our sin and should deal with us in a terrifying and just way (by sentencing us to an eternity in His prison, hell), He is also merciful and loving and has provided a way to forgive us, without sacrificing the need for justice!

God, because of the great love that He has for us, sent His Son, Jesus, to live the life of perfect obedience to Him that we could never live on our own! When Jesus was crucified on the cross, God poured all the wrath meant for us upon Jesus instead!

Jesus paid the fine of blood that we owe to God for our sins. And three days later, He raised Himself from the dead, proving that His sacrifice was sufficient!

If you would but repent of your sin and turn from your sinful lusts, and trust in Christ, God will grant you the righteousness of Christ and forgive you! There is NO condemnation for those who have been forgiven in Christ.

You will NOT miss your sins, but will hate them! You can be free to live your life as you were meant to, to be your real authentic self, devoted to the loving God that created you! Seek the Lord while He may be found, for that window is quickly closing. Repent and flee to Christ!
